PreLegislative Session with David Owe...
Description
Join us virtually with David Owen, President and Chief Lobbyist of the South Dakota Chamber.
Must RSVP to receive ZOOM link. Email director@spearfishchamber.org.
The 2021 Legislative Session will open in a vastly different reality than any other session in the history of South Dakota.
Like other sessions that follow elections, there will be approximately 30 new faces among the 105 legislators.
Unlike any other previous session, the 2021 session will be held in the midst of a pandemic that will challenge the way legislative work is conducted and the way groups meet with their representatives. The next session meets having faced an economic impact unlike any other with massive unemployment and business shutdowns that were ameliorated by $1.2 billion in aid and $400 million that was used to help small and medium sized businesses.
What policies will be needed by the structural subdivisions of the state including cities, counties and school districts? What laws will be needed by businesses, including the possibility of placing limits on liabilities for businesses from people claiming harm that was unavoidable by every business in the state?
