PIERRE, (KCCR) — A bill to help counties maintain a veterans service officer has passed out of the Senate Military and Veterans Affairs Committee.

Deputy Secretary with the South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs Aaron Polland says the bill would focus on a limited number of smaller counties…
Senator David Johnson has a similar bill and received a memo from the Legislative Research Council indicating the bills have “irreconcilable differences”…
Senators on the Committee rejected a motion to kill the bill…
H-B 1007 moves to the Senate floor on a five-zero vote.
