NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Senate of the Ninety-Second Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the House of Representatives concurring therein, that the Legislature accepts the invitation of the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee to attend the Nashville BBA Planning Convention; and

DISSENT AND PROTEST TO PASSAGE OF HB 1069

    Pursuant to Sen. Peters' motion invoking Joint Rule 1-10, referring the Letter of Dissent and Protest back to the dissent and protesting members for emendation, as found on page 369 of the Senate Journal;

    Delete lines 13 through 36; Dissent and Protest to Passage of HB 1069; and replace with the emendation of the Dissent and Protest to the Passage of HB 1069.

Pursuant to Joint Rule 1-10, we, the undersigned Senators, do hereby respectfully dissent from and protest the rulings of the President of the Senate in ruling against the point of order raised that 17 Senate members be excused from voting due to their interest in judicial proceedings regarding initiated measure 22 under Joint Rule 12-1 and Section 521 (2)(3) & Section 522 (1) of Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure (SD Legislative Joint Rule 11-3). Furthermore, we, the undersigned Senators, do hereby respectfully dissent from and protest the passage of House Bill 1069, which in our opinion violates Article III, Section 21 of the South Dakota Constitution, which states: "No law shall embrace more than one subject, which shall be expressed in its title." Moreover, we believe House Bill 1069's language requiring citizens to declare their names, addresses, etc., on campaign material is in conflict with the Supreme Court of the United States of America's decision in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Comm'n, 514 U.S. 334 (1995), which found such a requirement to be a violation of a person's 1^st Amendment rights. We hereby dissent from and protest against the rulings and the passage of HB 1069. We respectfully request that this dissent and protest be printed in the Senate Journal as required by Joint Rule 1-10.
