Starting in 2025, all newly elected or newly appointed South Dakota lawmakers must complete a two-hour course on the U.S. and state constitutions before their first regular legislative session, either in person or online. Members who already took the course in a previous term don't have to take it again, and the Legislative Research Council director will organize and oversee the training.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
