SC816

This bill is a legislative commemoration honoring the life of former U.S. Senator and Representative Tim Johnson, who passed away on October 8, 2024, at age 77. The bill recognizes Johnson's 36-year career in state and federal politics—the longest such tenure in South Dakota history—and his accomplishments including chairing the Senate Banking Committee and advocating for Native American tribes, rural water projects, and South Dakota industries. This is a ceremonial measure that does not change any existing state law.
