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!
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.
Dealing with fraud in the aftermath can be scary.
We have all the information you need to know about our advocacy efforts and how you can get involved.
The month of March is officially upon us and AARP South Dakota’s work for you continues in Pierre. We have only one full week of the 2019 SD Legislative Session remaining so we spent much of this week following up on ongoing legislation.
AARP South Dakota is keeping its members informed about where and how to have a good time.

Week seven is a busy and important week each year in the SD legislature. It is the final week for a bill to pass out of the committee in it's chamber of origin. This means a bill has to have been given a favorable recommendation in the first committee so it can be heard on the chamber floor before crossover day. "Crossover Day" is Monday, and marks the last opportunity for a bill originating in the House to move to the Senate, and vice versa. If a bill has not crossed over to the other chamber by the end of the day on Monday, it is considered dead.

We have had a busy week as we prepare for the President's Day holiday - and there is still more work to do!
We have officially reached the half way point of the 2019 South Dakota legislative session.
Despite the cold, South Dakota advocates flocked to the Capitol this week to meet with their elected officials and make the priorities of South Dakota's 50+ known. Clad in their signature red vest, advocates from communities across our state had lunch with many of our State Senators and Representations, as well as Governor Noem, Lt Governor Rhoden and Attorney General Ravnsborg. Photos from the event are attached below.
Many of your state legislators return home after each week in Pierre to reconnect with their communities and to hear from members of their constituency. AARP SD is one of the many groups who help to facilitate these conversations by sponsoring legislative coffees in cities across the state. We encourage you to take an opportunity to get to know your elected officials and to let your lawmakers know you are watching what happens in Pierre!
