AI-generated summary
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The enrolled version added several cosponsors (Representatives Emery, Goodwin, and Novstrup, and Senators Duhamel, Perry, Pischke, and Schoenfish) and made minor editorial changes like removing line numbers and adjusting grammar ("and" instead of listing three items). The substantive content of the commemoration remains unchanged—it still honors Joyce Waddell's retirement and 61-year education career in South Dakota.
