SB161 requires South Dakota's constitutional officers—the governor, attorney general, secretary of state, state auditor, and state treasurer—to report the hours worked by themselves and their employees to the state legislature. This creates a new transparency requirement so lawmakers can track how time is being spent in these key state offices.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
