This bill establishes a new rule for resolving conflicts when both South Dakota voters approve an initiated measure or constitutional amendment and the Legislature passes a law affecting the same topic. The initiated measure or amendment will take effect if it has a later effective date than the conflicting legislative act, or if both have the same effective date; additionally, if the Legislature repeals a law that voters just amended through an initiative, the voter-approved amendment will override the repeal.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
