| Bill Number | Heading | Brief Description |
|---|---|---|
| HB 00 | 2010 Legislative Information | SB 100 - Motorcycle Safety Registration Bill was passed the House 68-0 and is now on the Gov's desk. As I am sure you are already aware, we left the regular session without passing a budget and will have to do the budget on Veto Day - March 29. They also have March 30 to add a day if they need it. The reason they didn't do a budget is that they received word that the feds may have $28-34 million coming to SD for addtional stimulus money with certain rules - no cuts, must use reserves. The Republican proposed cuts of $52 million are still out there. The only amendment they took to the SB 196 - Appropriations Bill - was $5.2 million for the DUSEL project at Homestake. It was a very frustrating and challenging week. |
