Governor Kristi Noem took the unusual step of testifying on her own bill before the Senate State Affairs Committee.
She says the bill, focused on rural development, would change the way conditional use permits are approved by counties…
Noem says the bill puts control of zoning decisions into the hands of the majority of residents….
Noem asked the Senators to think about the future of the state and its families….
After almost two hours of debate, the committee voted six to three to send the bill to the Senate floor.
