This bill clarifies which court opinions the Legislative Research Council must include in its annual report to lawmakers. The change narrows the focus to only South Dakota Supreme Court and federal court opinions that either conflict with what the Legislature intended or identify areas needing legislative action, replacing the previous broader language about interpreting legislative intent.
