| HORSE RACING, PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENT, COUNTRY OF ORIGIN LABELING, JBS PAYMENTS!! |
| This just in, the SD House of Representatives Unanimously passed SB 68, our fake meat bill! This bill already had tremendous success and passed the Senate and will now head to the Governor to become law! We anticipate her continued support and signature on this legislation! This morning HB 1251 a bill to help fund horse racing in South Dakota unanimously passed the Senate Appropriations Committee and will now head to the floor of the Senate sometime soon. It passed in the House last week, and of course we will keep you updated on its status as information becomes available. SB 4, the bill to begin piloting a new property tax assessment system will be heard tomorrow morning in the House Ag Committee at 7:45 am CST. HCR 1007, a resolution supporting Country of Origin Labeling legislation at the federal level will be heard in the Senate Ag Committee tomorrow morning at 8:30 am CST. Also in the Senate Ag Committee tomorrow morning, SCR 12, a resolution petitioning congress and the USDA to halt payments to JBS Corporation, will be heard. We need to keep the grass-roots emails coming in order to maintain strong support for each of these bills.
