2014 South Dakota Legislative Session - State of the State Address and Bill Information and Tracking

On January 14th, South Dakota's 89th Legislative Session begins with the State of the State Address by Governor Dennis Daugaard. The Address will be carried live on SDPB1 TV, SDPB Radio and SDPB.org.

The South Dakota Legislative Research Council website provides South Dakotans with the most current information on the legislative session, including the texts of bills and information about state legislators, and contains links to live audio broadcasts of meetings and debates for South Dakota's Legislative Sessions. Find your legislators by district, county or city.  Locate a bill by number using "Quick Find," or by text search, the "full list" of bills, or the subject index. On each bill's webpage, see the list of actions taken on the bill and create an RSS fee for updates to the bill.

You can track a bill or multiple bills through the legislative process. Go to E-Subscribe (My LRC) to create a new E-Subscribe account for 2014. You may 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.
