Candidates in South Dakota can now use campaign contributions to pay for licensed child day care services for their dependent children, adding a new permitted use to the existing rules about how campaign money can be spent. Previously, campaign funds could only be used for campaign-related expenses, costs of holding public office, or donations to other candidates and nonprofits. This change allows politicians to cover child care costs with money they've raised for their campaigns.
