SCR 13 Introduced by: Senators Kennedy, Frerichs, Heinert, Killer, Maher, Nesiba, and
Sutton and Representatives Marty, Lesmeister, Livermont, May, and Smith
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION, To require the payment into the federal oil spill liability
trust fund for the Keystone One Pipeline and the Keystone XL Pipeline and to recognize
dilbit as oil.
WHEREAS, the Keystone One Pipeline carries 550,000 barrels per day of tar sands oil
(also known as dilbit) and if completed the Keystone XL Pipeline will potentially carry
830,000 barrels per day of tar sands oil across the state of South Dakota; and
WHEREAS, in 1990, after the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, it became clear that in order to
protect our country's environment, the issue of oil spill cleanups and procedures needed to be
addressed. The federal oil spill liability trust fund was established with the purpose of providing
the funding for this protection; and
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service ruled that tar sands oil imported into the
United States is exempt from the federal oil spill liability trust fund tax because it is synthetic
petroleum and not oil; and
WHEREAS, in 2015 the National Academies of Sciences determined that American oil spill
procedures are inadequate to deal with tar sands and dilbit oil spills; and
WHEREAS, critics assert that pipelines carrying tar sands oil pose a special risk, compared
to other crude oils, because the tar sands oil operates at a higher temperature which has been
linked to increased corrosion; and
WHEREAS, these pipelines have to flow at higher pressures (1440psi) which increase the
risk of ruptures. The Natural Resources Defense Council notes that pipelines in the upper
Midwest that routinely carry oil from tar sands have spilled 3.6 times more oil per pipeline mile
than the United States average; and
WHEREAS, the owners of the Keystone One Pipeline and the potential Keystone XL
Pipeline have given their word that they will pay for any tar sands oil cleanup required from a
spill; however, there is no bond requirement to provide such assurance; and
WHEREAS, the United States Senate passed a Sense of the Senate resolution that stated the
eight cents per barrel federal oil spill liability trust fund tax should be paid by pipelines carrying
dilbit oil; and
WHEREAS, it is especially concerning to the residents of South Dakota that the potentially
hazardous dilbit oil is pumped across our state with no assurances as to who will pay for any
potential cleanups that may be necessary:
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 Congress
be hereby requested to preserve and protect our land by requiring the federal government to
recognize dilbit as oil and require payment into the federal oil spill liability trust fund for the
Keystone One Pipeline and the Keystone XL Pipeline, and that copies of this resolution be
forwarded to the South Dakota congressional delegation and to the President of the
United States.
Was read the first time and referred to the Committee on State Affairs.
SCR 14 Introduced by: Senators Frerichs, Greenfield (Brock), Haverly, Heinert, Killer,
Nesiba, Rusch, Russell, Sutton, Tapio, and Wiik and Representatives Bartling, Anderson, Beal,
Brunner, Chase, Dennert, Glanzer, Gosch, Hawley, Lesmeister, McCleerey, Otten (Herman),
Qualm, Ring, Schaefer, Schoenfish, Smith, Soli, Wismer, and Zikmund
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION, Urging the Governor to fuel the state fleet with premium
E-30 fuel.
WHEREAS, current literature incorrectly claims premium E-30 damages standard auto
engines; and
WHEREAS, most standard auto owners actually report better performance when fueling
with premium E-30, including better than or equivalent mileage per gallon and greater power;
and
WHEREAS, these reports have been validated in studies like the E-30 Challenge conducted
by Glacial Lakes Energy; and
WHEREAS, thousands of standard auto owners save money daily fueling with premium
E-30; and
WHEREAS, premium E-30 reduces harmful emissions leading to cleaner air quality; and
WHEREAS, farmers and ethanol producers are the backbone for many rural economies in
South Dakota; and
WHEREAS, rural economies are the backbone for both the South Dakotan and American
economy; and
WHEREAS, premium E-30 is better for vehicle performance, rural economies, the
American economy, the environment, and public health; and
WHEREAS, South Dakota has an opportunity to be a regional leader in the promotion of
our homegrown premium fuel:
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 urges the Governor to fuel the state fleet with premium E-30 fuel.
Was read the first time, the President Pro Tempore waived the referral to committee, and
placed SCR 14 on the calendar of Friday, February 24th, the 28th legislative day.
SCR 15 Introduced by: Senators Tapio, Curd, Jensen (Phil), Langer, Maher, Nelson,
Novstrup, and Russell and Representatives Dennert, Brunner, Campbell, Goodwin,
Greenfield (Lana), Haugaard, Jensen (Kevin), Kaiser, Livermont, Marty, May, Pischke, and
Qualm
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION, Expressing a lack of confidence in the refugee resettlement
program.
WHEREAS, America is the beacon of hope and freedom for those living in fear and tyranny
around the world; and
WHEREAS, America is an open and pluralist society guided by the rule of law; and
WHEREAS, America recognizes the sovereignty of each person and constitutionally
protects each person's God-given freedom to think, believe, speak, and act according to each
person's own conscience, without fear of retribution, punishment, or death, so long as the
exercise of those freedoms do not impede upon another's freedom; and
WHEREAS, these freedoms are so important, the United States Constitution provides the
right to bear arms in order to protect those freedoms; and
WHEREAS, America has welcomed more legal immigrants and refugees than any country
in the world, and continues to welcome immigrants and refugees who agree with those freedoms
guaranteed in the United States Constitution; and
WHEREAS, the State of South Dakota has a long history of accepting immigrants and
refugees from around the world; and
WHEREAS, the State of South Dakota has ceded the state's authority and has no direct
influence on the implementation or administration of the refugee resettlement program; and
WHEREAS, the United Nations, the United States Department of State, and an unelected
nonprofit organization is solely responsible for implementing the refugee resettlement program,
and for assessing the impact the program has on South Dakota towns and communities, leaving
the citizens of South Dakota without a proper avenue to petition the government regarding the
refugee resettlement program; and
WHEREAS, citizens of South Dakota do not have access to information regarding the
financial impact on state and local governments regarding police and fire departments, the
criminal justice system, education system, health care system , and other social services and
welfare benefits; and
WHEREAS, the societal impact of accepting refugees from countries where ninety-eight
percent of females undergo forced female genital mutilation, where practices of honor killings
and dancing chai boys exist, and where other cultural practices antithetical to freedom and
liberty are exercised is unknown; and
WHEREAS, refugees and their children have been involved in terrorist attacks domestically
and have joined ISIS and other known terrorist organizations around the world; and
WHEREAS, refugees are being accepted from countries that impose the death penalty for
laws of apostasy and laws of blasphemy, and these laws and beliefs are not compatible with the
United States Constitution, the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, and a pluralist, open,
peaceful society:
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
South Dakota Legislature, having legitimate concerns about the refugee resettlement program
and the vetting process, and having further concerns about the ability of the vetting process to
protect the safety of American citizens and the United States Constitution, offer a vote of no
confidence in the refugee resettlement program, and the administration thereof.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the South Dakota Legislature recommends that our
United States Congressional Delegation, in conjunction with the Trump Administration, pursue
a policy of extreme vetting for the above considerations.
