Special sessions by District 24 Senator Mary Duvall.
As Veto Day drew to a close, the Governor indicated she would be working with legislative leaders to schedule a Special Session to deal with three issues: fairness in women’s sports, medical marijuana, and the latest round of COVID relief money. The Legislature has already set aside November 8-9 as a time to meet in Special Session to vote on legislative redistricting.
The State Constitution allows the governor to convene a special session by issuing a proclamation. Only business encompassed in the proclamation can be addressed during the special session. Interestingly, the constitution allows the special session to include either the entire Legislature or either house alone.

South Dakota’s Republican-controlled House is introducing legislation that would allow the state to nullify President Biden’s executive orders if it determines they are unconstitutional.
“The Executive Board of the Legislative Research Council may review any executive order issued by the President of the United States, if the order has not been affirmed by a vote of the Congress of the United States and signed into law, as prescribed by the Constitution of the United States,” the bill’s text reads.
The bill sets up a process for reviewing the president’s executive orders, which would be submitted to the governor and attorney general so that the attorney general could “determine whether the state should seek an exemption” from the order or have it “declared an unconstitutional exercise of legislative authority by the President.”
Joe Biden has signed more than 50 executive orders and actions in just his first two weeks in office, setting a modern record that blows by the past four presidents â
combined. Itâs not just the number thatâs a problem, of course, but the radical leftist content of the orders. And it appears the only thing that may slow down Bidenâs EO deluge would be writerâs cramp. The truth is Biden has taken Barack Obamaâs âpen and phoneâ style of governance and put it into overdrive, and Bidenâs hardly given it a second thought even as he literally writes off thousands of American jobs.
