The 91st Legislative Session



South Dakota’s 91st Legislative Session begins on Tuesday, January 12th after Governor Dennis Daugaard addresses both the House and Senate with the State of the State Address. The State of the Judiciary follows on Wednesday, January 13th.  For the first time, one of the leaders from the nine Native American tribes in South Dakota will address the legislature with a State of the Tribes Address on Thursday, January 14th. State of the Tribes is similar to State of the State and will provide lawmakers an opportunity to hear about issues on the reservations.
