Celebrating the South Dakota State University Jackrabbit football team winning the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision National Championship.

This is a ceremonial resolution celebrating South Dakota State University's football team winning the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision National Championship—it doesn't change any state law.

authorize the construction of an addition to the BG Dean Mann Readiness Center in Sioux Falls, to make an appropriation therefor, and to declare an emergency.

SB13 authorizes the state to build an addition to the BG Dean Mann Readiness Center in Sioux Falls and provides funding for the construction project. The bill also declares an emergency, which allows the project to proceed without the normal waiting period required for most legislation.

codify the fundamental right of a parent.

South Dakota would establish in state law that parents have a "fundamental right" to raise, educate, and make decisions about their children's care and custody. Under this new rule, state agencies and local governments cannot restrict these parental rights unless they can prove they have a compelling reason to do so and use the least restrictive way possible to achieve that goal. This codifies a legal principle that courts have recognized, giving it explicit statutory protection.

establish a citizen's legal standing to request a writ of mandamus or prohibition.

This bill allows any registered South Dakota voter to sue state or local election officials in court if those officials fail to follow election laws or rules, or if they act without legal authority. Voters have 30 days after an election's official vote count to file these legal challenges, called writs of mandamus (to force officials to do their job) or prohibition (to stop officials from overstepping their authority).

This bill honors eight school administrators from across South Dakota who were recognized as outstanding in their roles during the 2021-2022 school year. The bill does not change any state law—it is a ceremonial resolution that formally recognizes these educators' contributions to their schools and districts.

establish the legal standing of the Legislature to bring suit and be a necessary party in actions involving election law violations by public officials.

This bill gives the South Dakota Legislature the legal right to sue state officials—including the Governor and Secretary of State—if they change or ignore election laws without authorization. The Legislature's leaders (the House Speaker and Senate President) can file these lawsuits on behalf of the Legislature if a majority of both chambers requests it, and the Legislature must be included as a party in any lawsuits involving unauthorized changes to election rules.

amend provisions regarding trusts.

SB 95 makes two changes to South Dakota trust law: it updates the rules for how courts must notify people involved in trust cases by changing the electronic notification standard, and it creates a new provision allowing trust enforcers to appoint a co-enforcer to help them manage the trust (though the co-enforcer's role ends when the original enforcer leaves unless the trust document says otherwise). These changes give enforcers more flexibility in managing trusts while clarifying the procedures for legal notifications.
