SB 65 allows state employees to receive both their state salary and military pay at the same time, creating an exception to South Dakota's rule that normally prevents state employees from collecting two paychecks simultaneously. This change specifically applies to employees who are serving in the military, allowing them to maintain their state job benefits while receiving military compensation.
