The legislation focuses on ceremonial recognition and administrative processes without advocating for specific political outcomes.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes to increase the maximum number of off-sale alcohol licenses from two to three in South Dakota municipalities and counties with populations of 1,000 or fewer. The change would allow these smaller communities to issue one additional license for establishments selling alcohol for off-premises consumption.

The legislation does not mandate the issuance of additional licenses but expands the available capacity for local licensing decisions.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows courts in South Dakota to order family therapy or reunification therapy when deciding custody or visitation disputes involving children. The legislation gives judges the authority to require parents or guardians to participate in therapeutic sessions aimed at improving family relationships and resolving conflicts. Directly affected parties include parents, guardians, and children involved in custody cases where family dynamics are a central issue. The key provision enables courts to mandate these therapy services as part of their decisions, rather than leaving such interventions entirely to voluntary participation. This change provides an additional tool for judges to address family conflict while making custody determinations.

Maddy summaryHB 1189 extends the deadline by two years for funds appropriated to the Governor's Office of Economic Development in 2021 to be returned to the general fund if not spent.

The legislation does not alter how the money is used, only when any remaining balance must be transferred back.
