Chief Justice David Gilbertson

Prior to the 92nd session of the South Dakota legislature, we welcomed South Dakota Supreme Court Chief Justice David Gilbertson for a preview. Now, as the session comes to a close, we welcome him back to the program for a recap. We talk about HB1183 and mental health legislation set to change the way citizens with mental health issues interact with the criminal justice system.

Pending approval, the Keystone X-L pipeline will pass across the state of South Dakota, through Buffalo, Murdo and Winner. The pipeline will also crosses Lake Oahe, just under the Cheyenne River Reservation. A protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline near Standing Rock in North Dakota went on for months. That's prompted the state to prepare for potential demonstrations. It starts with one piece of legislation. SDPB's Lee Strubinger walks through the maze that is Senate Bill 176.
