This bill changes how the State Brand Board fills open positions by requiring future vacancies to be filled through election rather than appointment. Candidates must meet eligibility requirements including being at least 18 years old, owning at least one registered brand, earning most of their income from livestock, and residing in South Dakota's livestock inspection area. The State Brand Board will handle nominations and elections, with information about the process posted on websites, social media, livestock publications, and at livestock auction markets.
