Bill Information and Tracking for the 2013 Legislative Session

The South Dakota Legislature's Legislative Research Council (LRC) website is the "go-to" place to find texts of bills and information about state legislators, and to listen to live audio broadcasts of meetings and debates from the 2013 South Dakota Legislative Session. In the left column of the LRC homepage, under Current Legislators, find who are your legislators by district, county or city. Under Current Legislative Session, retrieve the text of a bill by its number or its subject. On the same webpage as the link to the text of a bill, see the list of actions taken on the bill. You also can create an RSS feed for updates to a bill's webpage. Click on the link to Live Audio Broadcasts for House and Senate debates and Committee meetings.

To track a bill or multiple bills through the legislative process, go to New MyLRC Account in the left-column of the LRC homepage to create your MyLRC Account. You can create bill tracking "lists" and be notified by e-mail with a bill hearing schedule each day or when a new version of one of your bills is available. You also may create a list of committees and be notified when one of your committees posts an agenda or calendar, or posts minutes or a journal. You also may create a list of legislators ("members") and be notified when the address information list is updated.
