This bill updates outdated language in South Dakota law to use modern references instead of gendered pronouns like "his" when referring to the Governor and other officials. The changes replace phrases like "he shall" with "to" and update "his" to "the Governor's" to make the language more inclusive and contemporary while keeping the legal meaning the same.
