South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem says she is planning to call the legislature back to Pierre for a special session late next month or in early June to deal with another round of federal funding and medical marijuana.

Representative Ryan Cwach of Yankton says the Governor should just move to implement “IM26”…

Cwach, a democrat, says local governments need to start moving on rules for dispensing medical marijuana..

Cwach says he doesn’t think a one or two day special session can decide how to spend up to a billion federal dollars…

The Governor has decided not to ask legislators to again attempt to pass a bill dealing with trans gender women competing in sports.
