Overview
- Lawmakers fell short of the two‑thirds threshold to override Gov. Larry Rhoden’s two vetoes during Monday’s Veto Day session.
- The lab‑grown meat ban failed in the House on a 32–32 vote with six absent, stopping a proposal to label the products as adulterated food and block sales.
- Rhoden previously signed a compromise that imposes a five‑year moratorium on lab‑grown meat in South Dakota, a measure he approved on March 11.
- A bid to license non‑medical home‑care agencies fell 11 votes shy in the House at 36–27 with seven absent, after Rhoden said the bill was too broad and would overpromise protection the Health Department cannot verify.
- The session closed with Rhoden having signed 239 other bills, including an immediate proof‑of‑citizenship rule for new voter registrations and a law removing gun suppressors from the state’s controlled‑weapon list.
