It seems like we were just at the Capitol for our Lobby Day in January and now, already, the 2025 South Dakota Legislative Session has come to a close.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) recently announced it will no longer allow beneficiaries and those applying for Social Security to confirm their identity over the phone and, instead, will require that they do so online or in person at a local office to complete the application process.
The calendar has turned to March, which means basketball, the return of Daylight Savings Time (reminder: turn your clocks ahead an hour this weekend!) and the end of the 100th Legislative Session.
There are two weeks left in the 2025 South Dakota legislative session, and AARP South Dakota’s work is not done! This weekly recap starts by celebrating a victory and extending a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our advocates!
South Dakota voters, we need your help! In addition to providing our regular weekly recap of the week's activity in Pierre, we have an important action item.
With Week 5 in the books, we have officially reached the halfway point of the 2025 South Dakota legislative session. Lawmakers wrapped up Legislative Day 21 this week, and the session ends on Legislative Day 38.
The calendar has turned to February, and suddenly we are already four weeks into Legislative Session. The deadline for introducing bills was this past Wednesday, so the final tally for the Legislature’s 2025 agenda is over 540 bills, resolutions and commemorations.
It’s hard to believe, but we are at the end of January and the completion of Week 3 of the 2025 South Dakota legislative session.
AARP South Dakota hosted volunteers from across the state in Pierre January 27-28 for their annual Volunteer Summit and Lobby Day at the Capitol.
A group of AARP South Dakota volunteers will head to Pierre next week, and we'll be hosting two events where they will be able to talk with state lawmakers.
