Business groups had to play defense at times during this year’s legislative session.

Dave Owen, President of the South Dakota Chamber of Commerce and Industry, says some gun related issues could have created problems for their members

Owen says they backed a bill allowing people to take driver’s license tests in another language

Owen says allowing people to take tests in Spanish would help expand the workforce

That bill (SB117) passed the Senate but was defeated in a House committee.
