The South Dakota House State Affairs Committee unanimously voted to amend HR7001, the articles of impeachment concerning State Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg. The amended articles effectively halt the impeachment proceedings and cast doubt on if or when the issue may be taken up in the future.
District 24 State Representative Will Mortenson of Pierre introduced the original resolution last week and appeared before the committee….
House Speaker Spencer Gosch of Glenham then moved an amended resolution, HR7001F, which effectively halts any discussion of impeachment proceedings until after a Hyde County court resolves the misdemeanor charges against Ravnsborg…
HR7001F will next go to the House floor. As a House Resolution, no Senate action is required.
On February 25, 2021, the Sixth Circuit Court issued an order precluding disclosure of criminal investigation information after Governor Kristi Noem’s release of evidence regarding the criminal charges in The State of South Dakota V. Jason Ravnsborg. The order stops Noem and all members of state government from releasing any evidence relating to the criminal case connected to the September death of Joseph Boever in Hyde County.
House Majority Leader Kent Peterson (Salem, District 19) says he thinks it’s clear Judge Brown’s intent was to honor the right to due process and a premature public proceeding might hinder that.

Two advocacy groups in South Dakota say a state legislative committee has passed a pair of bills that seek to ban abortion in the state.
The South Dakota House State Affairs Committee passed House Bill 1130 and House Bill 1110 this morning (Feb. 17, 2021).
Kristin Hayward is the manager of advocacy in South Dakota for the Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota Action Fund. She says HB1130 would require abortion providers to post information in their waiting areas and would also require doctors to give patients information “not supported by science about a so-called ‘abortion reversal.’” Doctors who fail to comply with the bill would be subject to disciplinary action against their license.
