A bi-partisan group of legislators stood with South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard as he signed several bills that were passed to replace portions of IM22. That initiated measure, passed by voters in November, was repealed by the legislature this year because of constitutional concerns.

Doug Kronaizal with Represent South Dakota, a group supporting IM22, says the bills fall short of what voters approved….

Kronaizal says the oversight board has been weakened….

Kronaizal says they will look for public input before they decide on their next step…..

Kronaizal says they have talked about legal action, or another petition drive.
