HB 1062 allows South Dakota to recover legal costs when the state defends voter-approved ballot measures (initiated amendments) that are challenged in court. The bill reorganizes and updates the laws governing ballot measures and court proceedings related to them, removing some outdated sections while clarifying when the state can seek reimbursement for its legal defense expenses.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
