A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION, Urging the members of the United States Congress to
propose the Parental Rights Amendment to the states for ratification.
WHEREAS, the right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is
a fundamental right protected by the Constitutions of the United States and the State of South
Dakota, and our nation has historically relied first and foremost on parents to meet the real and
constant needs of children; and
WHEREAS, the interests of children are best served when parents are free to make
childrearing decisions about education, religion, and other areas of a child's life without state
interference; and
WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court, in Wisconsin v. Yoder (1972), held that the
primary role of parents in the upbringing of their children is established beyond debate as an
American tradition; and later, in Troxel v. Granville (2000), produced six different opinions on
the nature and enforceability of parental rights under the United States Constitution that create
confusion and ambiguity about the fundamental nature of parental rights in the laws of our
nation and in the states; and
WHEREAS, United States Senator James DeMint of South Carolina and United States
Representative Peter Hoekstra of Michigan have introduced in the United States Congress an
amendment to the United States Constitution providing that the liberty of parents to direct the
upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right that may not be infringed upon
by the Unites States or any state without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied
to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served; and
WHEREAS, this amendment will add explicit text to the Constitution of the United States
to protect in perpetuity the rights of parents as they are now enjoyed without substantive change
to current federal or state laws respecting these rights; and
WHEREAS, such enumeration of these rights in the text of the Constitution will preserve
them from being infringed upon by the shifting ideologies and interpretations of the United
States Supreme Court:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the House of Representatives of the Eighty-fifth Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the Senate concurring therein, that the South
Dakota Legislature hereby affirms the Parental Rights Amendment to the United States
Constitution as referenced herein and as presented to the United States Congress by Senator
James DeMint and Representative Peter Hoekstra, and urges Congress to propose the Parental
Rights Amendment to the states for ratification; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the President of the
United States, the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader of the United States Senate, the
Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and to each member of South Dakota's
congressional delegation.
Was read the first time and the Speaker waived the committee referral.
HCR 1015 Introduced by: Representatives Hunhoff (Bernie) and Fargen and Senator
Heidepriem
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION, Supporting the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
WHEREAS, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the United States
economy went into recession in December of 2007; and
WHEREAS, in January of 2009, Governor Rounds predicted that the State of South Dakota
would experience a budget shortfall of $51.2 million for the remainder of the fiscal year until
July 1, 2009, and a shortfall in fiscal year 2010 of $81.6 million; and
WHEREAS, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), was signed into law
February 17, 2009; and
WHEREAS, the State of South Dakota used $78 million in ARRA funds to balance the state
budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, and $101 million in ARRA funds to balance the
state budget in fiscal year 2010, leaving $70 million for the state's budget in fiscal year 2011;
and
WHEREAS, ARRA provided approximately $236 million for transportation infrastructure
and clean water projects throughout the state, including highways and bridges that were
identified as priorities by the South Dakota Department of Transportation; and
WHEREAS, ARRA provided more than $56 million for the Lewis and Clark Regional
Water Project, a project crucial to southeastern South Dakota's economic development; and
WHEREAS, the state's second quarterly report to the federal government estimated that
ARRA allocated $655 million to South Dakota, including $287 million for infrastructure
improvement, $186 million for education, $134 million for public assistance programs,
including unemployment assistance, $27 million for public safety, and $21 million for other
state services; and
WHEREAS, ARRA provided a long-term extension of the wind energy production tax
credit, a key element to sustained wind energy development in South Dakota; and
WHEREAS, ARRA contained one of the largest tax cuts in history, including a tax credit
of up to $800 per family for 2009 and 2010; and
WHEREAS, Governor Rounds recognized the role that ARRA played in balancing the
state's budget, lessening the impact of the recession on South Dakota families and businesses,
and avoiding severe cuts to necessary services, saying, "We can eliminate a lot of the pain. We
can make it as painless as possible to get through this recession in South Dakota.":
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the House of Representatives of the Eighty-fifth Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the Senate concurring therein, that the funds
provided to the State of South Dakota through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009 are important, useful, and beneficial investments for our people, economy, and
infrastructure.

HCR 1016 Introduced by: Representatives Fargen, Faehn, and Hunhoff (Bernie) and
Senators Knudson and Heidepriem
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION, Opposing certain indirect land use change provisions that
unfairly impact biofuels production in the United States.
WHEREAS, a controversial provision included in the Energy Independence and Security
Act of 2007 without debate would assess a penalty against domestic biofuel producers. The
theory, called Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC), assumes that growing grains for biofuel
production displaces other crops, which are then grown in other parts of the world, leading to
deforestation; and
WHEREAS, the ILUC theory is flawed, speculative, and withstands no credible scrutiny.
Advocates of the ILUC theory argue that American biofuel producers should be penalized for
the "indirect" release of stored carbon due to international market forces related to the
production of ethanol - in this case, from deforestation in the Amazon. Essentially, these
biofuels critics believe that American farmers and ethanol producers should be held accountable
for the unrelated actions of foreign countries; and
WHEREAS, the implementation of ILUC would violate a bedrock principle of international
environmental law: that the polluter pays. According to this long-standing principle, the party
responsible for producing pollution is responsible for mitigating the damage done to the
environment. This is a widely adopted principle by countries that belong to the Organization for
Economic Co-Operation and Development, including the United States, and is part of Principle
16 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development; and
WHEREAS, applying the ILUC penalty to American farmers and biofuel producers would
be punishment for actions they are not involved in nor have any control over; and
WHEREAS, according to the National Institute of Space Research, deforestation in the
Amazon has declined sharply just as American biofuels production doubled. In 2004, 10,588
square miles of the Amazon were deforested, and in 2008, that number dropped to 4,621 square
miles. Meanwhile, United States ethanol production has risen from approximately three billion
gallons in 2004 to approximately nine billion gallons in 2008; and
WHEREAS, advances in biotechnology have allowed American farmers to produce more
corn on fewer acres. The average corn yield per acre in 1980 was 91 bushels, in 2007 it was
152.8 bushels. These biotechnology advances will only continue, further eroding the credibility
of the ILUC theory; and
WHEREAS, the ILUC theory gained notoriety in 2008 as a result of an article published by
a lawyer with no scientific training or credentials. The article claimed ethanol production created
more greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline due to "indirect land use changes." Academics and
scientists criticized the methodology and findings as "highly speculative" and "seriously
flawed", yet the article caught attention in the media. Among the largest criticisms of the article
included a failure to adhere to internationally accepted methodologies for life-cycle analysis, a
lack of accounting for the value of distillers dried grains, and outdated information that resulted
in poor assumptions; and
WHEREAS, the United States House of Representatives included a provision in the
American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (H.R. 2454) that prevents the EPA from
implementing the ILUC rule for six years while the National Academy of Sciences studies
whether the theory can be corroborated by actual evidence:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the House of Representatives of the Eighty-fifth Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the Senate concurring therein, that the United
States Senate is urged to should include, as part of any comprehensive energy legislation,
provisions similar to those adopted by the United States House of Representatives to prevent
the implementation of Indirect Land Use Change rules; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Congress and agencies of the federal government are
urged to resist Indirect Land Use Change provisions that unfairly impact biofuels production in
the United States.

" Section 1. That § 13-13-10.1 be amended to read as follows:
13-13-10.1. Terms used in this chapter mean:
(1) "Average daily membership," the average number of resident and nonresident
kindergarten through twelfth grade pupils enrolled in all schools operated by the
school district during the previous regular school year, minus average number of
pupils for whom the district receives tuition, except pupils described in subdivision
(1A) and pupils for whom tuition is being paid pursuant to § 13-28-42.1 and plus the
average number of pupils for whom the district pays tuition;
(1A) Nonresident students who are in the care and custody of the Department of Social
Services, the Unified Judicial System, the Department of Corrections, or other state
agencies and are attending a public school may be included in the average daily
membership of the receiving district when enrolled in the receiving district. When
counting a student who meets these criteria in its general enrollment average daily
membership, the receiving district may begin the enrollment on the first day of
attendance. The district of residence prior to the custodial transfer may not include
students who meet these criteria in its general enrollment average daily membership
after the student ceases to attend school in the resident district;
(2) "Adjusted average daily membership," calculated as follows:
(a) For districts with an average daily membership of two hundred or less,
multiply 1.2 times the average daily membership;
(b) For districts with an average daily membership of less than six hundred, but
greater than two hundred, raise the average daily membership to the 0.8293
power and multiply the result times 2.98;
(c) For districts with an average daily membership of six hundred or more,
multiply 1.0 times their average daily membership;
(2A) "Fall enrollment," the number of kindergarten through twelfth grade students enrolled
in all schools operated by the school district on the last Friday of September of the

pursuant to § 13-28-42.1, plus the number of students for whom the district pays
tuition. When computing state aid to education for a school district under the
foundation program pursuant to § 13-13-73, the secretary of the Department of
Education shall use either the school district's fall enrollment or the average of the
school district's fall enrollment and the school district's fall enrollment from the prior
year, whichever is higher. However, if a school district qualifies to benefit from both
the averaging permitted in this subdivision and the one-time payment provided in
§ 13-13-80 in the same fiscal year, the school district may not benefit from both, but
only from the one that provides the most additional funding to the district;
(2B) "Current fall enrollment," the number of kindergarten through twelfth grade students
enrolled in all schools operated by the school district on the last Friday of September
of the current school year minus the number of students for whom the district
receives tuition except nonresident students who are in the care and custody of a state

pursuant to § 13-28-42.1, plus the number of students for whom the district pays
tuition;

(a) For districts with a fall enrollment of two hundred or less, multiply 0.2 times
$4,237.72;

six hundred, multiply the fall enrollment times negative 0.0005; add 0.3 to that
result; and multiply the sum obtained times $4,237.72;
(3) "Index factor," is the annual percentage change in the consumer price index for urban
wage earners and clerical workers as computed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of

Each school fiscal year thereafter, the per student allocation is the previous fiscal
year's per student allocation increased by the index factor;
(5) "Local need," is the sum of:
(a) The per student allocation multiplied by the fall enrollment; and
(b) The small school adjustment, if applicable, multiplied by the fall enrollment;
and
(c) The payment distributed pursuant to § 13-13-80, if applicable;
(6) "Local effort," the amount of ad valorem taxes generated in a school fiscal year by
applying the levies established pursuant to § 10-12-42;
(7) "General fund balance," the unreserved fund balance of the general fund, less general
fund exclusions plus, beginning with transfers made in fiscal year 2001, any transfers

2011, forty percent; for fiscal year 2012 and subsequent fiscal years, twenty-five
percent. However, the general fund base percentage can never be less than twenty-five percent;
(10) "Allowable general fund balance," the general fund base percentage multiplied by the
district's general fund expenditures in the previous school fiscal year;
(11) "General fund exclusions," revenue a school district has received from the imposition
of the excess tax levy pursuant to § 10-12-43; revenue a school district has received
from gifts, contributions, grants, or donations; revenue a school district has received
under the provisions of §§ 13-6-92 to 13-6-96, inclusive; revenue a school district
