MINOR

This bill updates the official South Dakota Codified Laws to include the 2025 legislative session volumes and establishes rules for how new 2025 laws interact with the existing code. It ensures that statutes passed in 2025 are recognized as part of the official code and clarifies that new laws override older code provisions when there are conflicts.

Scope change

The bill expands the official code's scope to include the 2025 legislative session volumes and adds a new provision for handling conflicts between 2025 statutes and the existing code.

TECHNICAL

Added new volumes (2024 revisions of volumes 16 and 18, 2022 revisions of volumes 23, 24, and 26, and 2024 interim updates) to the official code list.

REQUIREMENT

Added Section 2-16-15 to validate existing code provisions that were challenged before July 1, 2025, and to clarify that the code does not affect transaction validity, legalizing effects, or penalties that accrued before the code took effect.

Added Section 2-16-16 to establish that 2025 session statutes are deemed enacted after the code and that they prevail over conflicting code provisions, with a requirement that 2025 laws citing the code must reference the code enacted by Section 2-16-13.
