KNBN NewsCenter1 January 11, 2021 PIERRE, S.D. —All eyes will be on Pierre Tuesday as the 96th legislative session gets underway. Lawmakers will be sworn-in and Governor Noem will deliver her “State of the State” address. “I am looking forward to the Governors State of the State Address to see more of what her vision is. Last year we had ‘South Dakota is Open for Business,’ and I am excited to hear what our continuance with that is going to be, and then what our new theme for this year will be,” said State Senator Jessica Castleberry of District 35. Lawmakers in South Dakota will have a lot to discuss during the 96th Legislative Session. In addition to approving the states budget for the next fiscal year, legislators will have to deal with the nuts and bolts of legalized marijuana and sports betting. They will also need to decide what to do with one-time COVID-19 aid from the federal government.
