Senate tables bill revising residency rules for voting
Summary
Senate Bill 218, a measure to revise residency provisions for voter registration, was tabled on a non‑debatable motion and the motion passed 35–0, effectively killing the bill for this session.
PIERRE, S.D. — The South Dakota Senate voted to table Senate Bill 218, which proposed revisions to residency rules for voting purposes. The motion to table was non‑debatable and passed on a roll call vote 35–0, which the presiding officer noted as a final disposition under the rules.
Senator Carley (State Senator) moved to table the bill; the motion was seconded and the clerk conducted a roll call. The secretary reported “35 yays, 0 nays,” and the President declared the bill tabled. Under the Senate’s procedure, tabling in this manner is final and kills the measure for the session unless it is later revived by motion.
