HB 1087 prohibits paid petition circulators from collecting signatures for ballot measures and constitutional amendments in South Dakota. The bill requires that anyone gathering signatures must be a registered South Dakota voter, effectively eliminating the practice of hiring professional signature-gathering companies to promote initiatives. This change applies to all types of petitions—constitutional amendments, initiated measures, and referrals.
