AI-generated summary
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The enrolled version added four additional state senators and two additional representatives as sponsors of this commemoration honoring Joyce Waddell's retirement, and made minor grammatical edits (adding "and" before "the children and grandchildren"), which strengthens the bill by expanding legislative support for honoring Waddell's 61 years of service to South Dakota education.
