Bill > HB1087

This bill amends existing South Dakota law to prohibit the use of paid petition circulators, meaning individuals who are compensated for gathering signatures for ballot measures, such as initiated amendments to the Constitution, initiated measures, or referred laws. The bill modifies several sections of state law to remove references to paid circulators and to require that petition circulators provide a handout to signers stating they are not being compensated. It also adds a new section that declares any petition void if a court finds a violation of the prohibition against compensating circulators, and it clarifies definitions related to petition circulation and compensation.
