Attempt to Override Veto of Senate Bill 157 Unsuccessful
Attempts by legislators to override Governor Dennis Daugaard's veto of Senate Bill 157 have failed in the South Dakota House of Representatives. The bill prevented local governments from restricting outdoor advertising, which would have invalidated the digital billboard ban passed by Rapid City voters in 2011. The Senate voted 26-7 to override the veto, but the House of Representatives fell four votes short of the two-thirds majority required to override with a 43-24 vote.
