One of the most controversial issues lawmakers tackled this year was legislation regarding carbon capture pipelines.
The South Dakota Legislature passed Senate Bill 201, positioned as a compromise between opposing parties and a protection for landowner rights.
The bill has its critics. A group of concerned citizens is gathering signatures to refer the law to voters in the fall.
House Majority Leader Rep. Will Mortenson stopped by the SDPB studios for an in-depth conversation about the legislation.
