This bill modifies South Dakota's rules for government meetings held by teleconference to make voting procedures more flexible. Instead of requiring all votes to be taken by roll call, the bill allows votes to be taken by voice vote first, with a roll call vote only required if someone votes against the measure. The change makes teleconference meetings operate more like in-person meetings while still ensuring transparency when there is disagreement.
