South Dakota currently prohibits state officers and employees from profiting from contracts they approve or administer, but this bill extends that restriction by barring them from being employed by organizations that received state contracts within one year after they leave office. The new rule applies to anyone who directly approves contracts or supervises someone who does, closing a potential loophole where former officials could avoid direct benefit but still work for contract-winning companies.
