Lab-grown meat, prenatal videos, and other highlights of the Legislature’s halfway point

from Searchlight Report · host Meghan O'Brien

The South Dakota legislative session crosses the halfway mark in the fifth episode of Searchlight Report. Meghan covers the governor’s veto of a lab-grown meat ban, updates on dueling lawsuits over an abortion-rights advertising campaign, and a new proposal that would require schools to show a prenatal development video. One lawmaker wants employers to use E-Verify to check all employees’ citizenship, while another wants to allow health care providers to refuse to perform services that violate their conscience. Also, the Democrats have a new candidate for governor, and lawmakers have more money for the state budget than they thought.
