साउथ डकोटा लेजिस्लेटिभ अपडेट - फेब्रुअरी ७, २०२३

हाउस बिल 1219—समर्थन: This bill introduced by Rep. Spencer Gosch would enact an Interstate Meatpacking Compact that would allow state-inspected meat to be sold across state lines if that state is also a member of the compact. Current law allows only federally inspected meat to be sold across state lines. This would open up new markets for livestock producers using state-inspected facilities, which are often located in more rural areas.
HB1219 was introduced through a “vehicle bill,” in which the language in a bill is intentionally left empty and “hoghoused” (or replaced completely) at a later date. As such, the details of the bill can be found in the bill’s amendment, 1219A.

HB 1219 was heard Feb. 23 by the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.

एचबी 1121—समर्थन: This bill introduced by Rep. Marli Wiese establishes criteria governing the sale of homemade food items. HB 1121 makes changes to the state’s “home processed foods law,” which allows for the sale of shelf-stable baked and canned goods without a license. HB 1121 expands the list of homemade food items that can be sold directly to consumers to include both temperature-controlled and shelf-stable goods. Additionally, non-temperature-controlled homemade food items could be sold at retail and grocery stores. The bill removes the third-party process verification requirement from homemade canned goods. Producers are exempt from licensing requirements as long as their annual gross revenue from selling homemade food items does not exceed $150,000.

HB 1121 was heard Feb. 23 in the House Local Government Committee. The Center submitted a supportive comment. A proposed amendment to the bill that makes several changes, including keeping the third-party processing requirement for canned goods, has been requested by Rep. Wiese. 

एचबी 1040—समर्थन: कृषि विभागको अनुरोधमा ल्याइएको यस विधेयकले केही साना मासु प्रशोधनकर्ताहरूलाई अनुदानको लागि विनियोजन गर्ने र आपतकालीन घोषणा गर्ने व्यवस्था गर्नेछ। कोभिड-१९ ले मासु प्रशोधन उद्योगमा अवरोध सिर्जना गरेको छ, जसले गर्दा धेरै स्थानीय मासु प्रशोधनकर्ताहरूमा ब्याकलग सिर्जना भएको छ। यो विधेयकले मासु प्रशोधकहरूलाई पूर्वाधार सुधार मार्फत आफ्नो प्रशोधन क्षमताहरू विस्तार गर्न अनुमति दिने अनुदान कार्यक्रम सिर्जना गर्न $५ मिलियन छुट्याएको छ। यो मासु प्रशोधन अनुदान कार्यक्रम एक-पृष्ठ कार्यक्रमको सिंहावलोकन प्रदान गर्दछ।

HB 1040 was heard in the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee on Jan. 28. The Center submitted a supportive comment. There was significant proponent testimony on the bill and no one testified in opposition. It passed 13-0 and is scheduled for a hearing in the House Committee on Appropriations on Feb. 23 at 10:30 a.m.

एचबी 1042—समर्थन: यो विधेयक प्राकृतिक स्रोत विभागको अनुरोधमा ल्याइएको हो र यसले नदी किनारको बफर स्ट्रिपहरू सम्बन्धी केही प्रावधानहरूलाई परिमार्जन गर्नेछ। HB १०४२ ले नदी किनारको बफर स्ट्रिपको रूपमा वर्गीकृत जग्गाको मूल्याङ्कन गरिएको कृषि आय मूल्य ६०% बाट ५०% मा घटाउँछ र आवेदन आवश्यकतालाई वार्षिकबाट प्रत्येक १० वर्षमा एक पटक परिवर्तन गर्दछ।

HB 1042 received unanimous support in both the House and Senate committees and floor votes. It was noted in testimony that the intent of this bill is to increase sign-ups in the buffer strip program. Only 1,000 acres are enrolled, but 13,000 acres are available to be enrolled. The bill awaits the governor’s signature.
 

सिनेट बिल (SB)। 34—समर्थन: Brought at the request of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, the bill would make an appropriation to expand rural access to broadband services and to declare an emergency. SB 34 allocates $100 million dollars toward building out broadband infrastructure in the state, giving priority to projects that leverage existing investment and infrastructure, serve locations without high-speed internet, and serve the most number of customers. Many rural South Dakotans lack adequate internet access, making this program an important investment for rural communities. 

SB 34 was heard in the Senate Commerce and Energy Committee on Jan. 26. The Center submitted a supportive comment. During testimony it was noted that 135,000 South Dakotans lack adequate broadband access and that the investment made through this bill could potentially shore up gaps in broadband access across the state. There was no testimony in opposition, and the bill passed unanimously. A hearing is scheduled in the Joint Committee on Appropriations on Feb. 25 at 8 a.m.
 
एचबी 1077—समर्थन: यो विधेयक गभर्नरको कार्यालयको अनुरोधमा ल्याइएको हो र यसले केही इजाजतपत्र प्राप्त पेशेवरहरू र पेशाहरूको लागि अनुमोदनद्वारा इजाजतपत्रको व्यवस्था गर्नेछ। मार्चमा, गभर्नर क्रिस्टी नोएमले जारी गरे कार्यकारी आदेश 2020-07, जसले COVID-19 प्रतिक्रियाको भागको रूपमा स्वास्थ्य सेवा पेशेवरहरूको लागि थप लचिलोपनको लागि अनुमति दियो। HB १०७७ त्यो आदेशको विस्तार हो र निश्चित चिकित्सा पेशेवरहरूको लागि राज्य बाहिरको इजाजतपत्रको मान्यतालाई स्थायी बनाउँछ। 

HB 1077 was heard in the House State Affairs committee on Jan. 27 and passed unopposed. It passed the House floor with a vote of 67-3, received unanimous support in the Senate Commerce and Energy Committee, and then passed the Senate floor with a vote of 34-1. It now awaits the governor’s signature.
 

एचबी 1053- तटस्थ: प्रतिनिधि मार्क विलाडसेनद्वारा प्रस्तुत गरिएको यो विधेयकले केही विद्युतीय मोटर सवारी साधनहरूको लागि वार्षिक शुल्क स्थापित गर्दछ। HB १०५३ ले राज्यको राजमार्ग मर्मत कोषमा सङ्कलन गरी सडक र पुलहरूको निर्माण र मर्मतसम्भारको लागि प्रयोग गरिने ग्यास कर मार्फत सामान्यतया उत्पन्न हुने हराएको रकमको क्षतिपूर्ति गर्न विद्युतीय मोटर सवारी साधनहरूको लागि वार्षिक $१०० शुल्क सिर्जना गर्दछ। राज्य ग्यास कर २८ सेन्ट/गैलन हो, जसको अर्थ विद्युतीय सवारी साधनहरूको लागि $१०० वार्षिक शुल्क ३५७ ग्यालन ग्यासमा तिरेको कर बराबर हो। 

HB 1053 was heard in the House Transportation Committee on Jan. 28. The bill was amended to decrease the annual fee from $100 to $50 and passed unopposed. It was then debated on the House floor on Feb. 2 and passed 51-18. It passed the Senate Transportation Committee on Feb. 17 with a vote of 6-1 and is being heard on the Senate floor on Feb. 22 at 2 p.m.
