Legislative Scorecard 2021 LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 05 ..................... LETTER FROM THE STATE DIRECTOR 06 .......................................... KEY VOTE DESCRIPTIONS 12 ............................................................... SENATE VOTES 14 .................................................................. HOUSE VOTES www.AmericansForProsperity.org/SouthDakota 3 Welcome to the 2021 Americans for Prosperity- South Dakota Legislative Scorecard. The goal of this scorecard is simple: Make government transparent to the people they represent. History has shown that free people are capable of extraordinary things —but many laws hold South Dakotans back from truly thriving. That’s why our growing community of activists are fighting every day to make the Mount Rushmore State a better place to live, work, and raise a family. We support legislation that enhances liberty and opportunity and oppose legislation that restricts those concepts. The bills in the scorecard reflect that. What you will NOT see are grades for individual legislators. What you will see is a description of issues and legislation, and how our legislators voted over the last year. We hope this information helps you stay informed about how your senators and representatives have voted on important issues. If nothing else, it will serve as a basis for your conversations with them. We trust that policymakers are working to remove barriers that make it more difficult for South Dakotans to achieve their fullest potential, and we believe this tool will help shape their thinking in that regard. To advance principles related to this cause, we are using cutting-edge tools and technology to educate, recruit, and mobilize citizens in SCORING METHODOLOGY support of improving the lives of all South Dakotans. With our 2021 Legislative Scorecard, we aim to improve transparency 4 = Voted with AFP-South Dakota’s position and help involve your voice in the legislative process. 8 = Voted against AFP-South Dakota’s position NA = Absent DON HAGGAR South Dakota State Director - Americans for Prosperity www.AmericansForProsperity.org/SouthDakota 5 KEY VOTES | 2021 REGULAR SESSION MARCH 1, 2021 - APRIL 10,2021 CRIMINAL JUSTICE SB 164 | PROVIDE FOR A FORMAL PROCESS CRIMINAL FORFEITURE HB 1111 | REVISE CERTAIN PROVISIONS Sponsors: Sen.
