Dear Mr. President Rhoden and Members of the Senate:
I respectfully return Senate Bill 176 with the following recommendation as to STYLE and
FORM. Senate Bill 176 is An Act to make an appropriation for the second century habitat fund.
Senate Bill 176 appropriates $1 million in one-time funds for pheasant habitat. Throughout the
legislative debate on this bill, it was understood that these funds would come from dollars
available in Fiscal Year 2019. That was how the bill was originally proposed and how it was
explained throughout the legislative process. Even in the last week of the legislative session,
materials prepared by legislators and legislative staff included these funds in the Fiscal Year
2019 budget.
As Senate Bill 176 passed in its final form, however, it did not include an effective date in
Fiscal Year 2019. To carry out the objective of this bill in a manner consistent with the
Legislature's clear intent, I recommend the following Style and Form correction to the Enrolled
version of Senate Bill 176:
On Page 1, after Section 5, insert "Section 6. This Act is effective on June 28, 2019."
This clarification will allow the funds to be included in the Fiscal Year 2019 budget, as was
intended. Because June 28, 2019 is ninety days from the final day of the legislative session, this
effective date would not require an emergency clause.
I respectfully request you concur with my recommendation as to STYLE and FORM.
The Senate proceeded to the consideration of the recommendation of the Governor as to
change of style and form of SB 176 as found on page 734 of the Senate Journal, as provided in
Article IV, Section 4, of the Constitution of the State of South Dakota.
The question being “Shall the recommendation of the Governor as to change of style and
form of SB 176 be approved?”

As stated a long time ago in sacred scripture, there is a time for everything. There is a
time to begin and a time to end. Now is the time to end this session. It is hoped that the good
work begun here will bring fruit to the people of South Dakota. That all issues brought to the
attention of this body of senators have been addressed most properly for the greatest number
of our state. As these good elected members go forth they do so fully cognitive they have done
the best they could do. May each of them be open to all who approach them about the past,
present or future. May you know of their genuine desire to faithfully represent those who have
voted for them and those who may have voted against them. Bless them as they travel home
to be with friends and family. The residents of Pierre have enjoyed being host and wish
everyone the best. We continue to pray for those facing difficulties because of the flooding or
any other natural disaster. Help throughout this spring and this summer with all that lies ahead.
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make his face to shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you
and give you peace.
Amen
