The Honorable Matt Michels
President of the Senate
500 East Capital Avenue
Pierre, SD 57501-5070
Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate,
I respectfully return Senate Bill 65 with the following recommendations as to STYLE and FORM.
Senate Bill 65 is an Act to revise the procedure for a municipal recall petition.
The bill as presented contains ambiguity as to the commencement of the ten-day timeframe for council action. This ambiguity can be resolved by making the following style and form corrections to the Enrolled version of Senate Bill 65:
In Section 2, on the first line, insert "of presentation" after "within ten days."
I respectfully request you concur with my recommendations as to style and form.
Respectfully submitted,
Dennis Daugaard
Governor
