Lawmaker Says Few Complaints So Far on Lakes Bill

It has been a fairly quiet summer on South Dakota lakes that had been closed earlier in the year.

Senator Jason Frerichs of Wilmot, says the bill passed in a June special session has done what was expected

The lakes were closed to public access after a state Supreme Court decision. Frerichs says he hasn’t heard many complaints at this point

Frerichs says this year’s bill could be a framework for a more permanent fix

The bill has a sunset date of next June first, so the 2018 legislature will have to take further action.
