Introduced Text

South Dakota HB1087 prohibits the use of paid petition circulators for ballot measures.

South Dakota HB1087 amends the state's election laws to prohibit the use of paid petition circulators for ballot measures. The bill specifies that only individuals who are not compensated for their efforts may circulate petitions. It requires petition circulators to provide a handout to each person who signs the petition, detailing the measure's title, text, and sponsors, as well as whether the circulator is a volunteer or paid. The bill also mandates that the circulator handout be approved by the secretary of state before the petition is circulated.
