Non-Meandered Waters Compromise Bill Moves on to the Full Senate

A bill that would rewrite the compromise over non-meandered lakes from last summer’s special session will move onto the Senate floor for debate.

A hearing last night before the Senate Ag and Natural Resources Committee lasted almost three hours.

George Vandel of Pierre, a supporter of the bill, says it is a critical issue for the state.

Mike Elsen farms in Brown County, and has had to deal with flooded land.

Senator Deb Soholt of Sioux Falls says there are a lot of rights at stake.

The bill passed out of committee with no recommendation on a vote of eight to one.
