South Dakota state officials and employees are now prohibited from working as lobbyists to influence legislation on behalf of private interests, agencies, or businesses. The bill updates the state's lobbying registration requirements to enforce this ban by preventing anyone—including government workers—from being hired as a lobbyist and registered in the state's directory of registered lobbyists.
