Contacting your legislator

We have many new people going to Pierre as Legislators. It is important to introduce yourself to them so they know who to contact if they have any questions about counseling. This also gives you a good relationship to build on later during the session. It will give your input more weight when you contact them regarding bills. Get to know yours by checking out their names and faces at http://legis.state.sd.us/who/index.aspx.

Following Legislation

To track legislation during the session, refer to the following site provided by the Legislative Research Council at http://legis.state.sd.us/general/webguide.htm.
