February 25, 1997
The Honorable Carole Hillard
President of the Senate
State Capitol Building
Pierre, SD 57501-5070
Dear Madam President and Members of the Senate:
I herewith return Senate Bill 157 and return it with the following recommendation as to STYLE
and FORM.
Section 1 of the bill amends SDCL 41-6-59. The last sentence of Section 1 of the bill makes
reference to an interest rate of twelve percent. This interest rate should be expressed as a
Category B rate of interest pursuant to SDCL 54-3-16 which is also twelve percent. By
making this change the interest rate will change whenever a future Legislature amends SDCL
54-3-16 and it will not be necessary to separately amend SDCL 41-6-59 when a change in
interest rates occurs.
Therefore, I suggest the following change to SB 157:
On page 2, line 17 of the printed bill, after the word amount, delete plus interest at the rate
of twelve percent and insert the following: plus interest at the Category B rate of interest as
defined in SDCL 54-3-16.
I respectfully request that you concur with my action.
