State lawmakers have two days to sort out differences on a handful of outstanding issues.
Two of those are issued that have defined the 2024 session—teacher salary accountability and carbon pipeline regulation.
Gov. Kristi Noem wants teacher salaries to go up at a rate based on annual inflationary increases for education funding.
The House and Senate are also at odds over changes to the states siting permit laws, easements and new requirements for pipeline companies. One of the bills includes a so-called “landowners bill of rights.”
Each chamber is also at odds over how to regulate internet access to pornographic material and whether lawmakers should address the issue during an interim study.
Lawmakers are also hammering out the final details on a grant program to support airport terminal expansion and infrastructure improvements.
They have until Thursday to take final action on these bills and pass a budget.
