Advocacy is our top priority. Whether pushing to keep South Dakota a business-friendly state, blocking new taxes or regulations, or ensuring that our state’s policy-making process is not undermined, our experienced team’s primary focus is working on behalf of business.

Legislative Lineup
When South Dakota's Legislative Session gets underway in January, hundreds of people at the Capitol will be carrying around SDRA's newest Legislative Lineup. 

The Lineup features:
  • photos, contact information and committee assignments for each state legislator
  • committee schedules
  • lists of which legislators serve on all standing committees
  • maps of the Capitol committee rooms
  • photos and contact information for constitutional officers, the Supreme Court and South Dakota's Congressional Delegation
  • other important facts about the legislative process

5,800 copies of the popular booklet are printed and distributed each year. It's used by legislators, state officials, lobbyists and visitors who come to the State Capitol to watch the legislative process. We've been publishing this handy booklet every year since 1983.
