South Dakota law currently requires people who resign from governor-appointed boards to stay in their position until a replacement is confirmed by the Senate. This bill clarifies that resigned board members can now leave early if the governor makes an interim appointment or if the resigned member sets their own departure date in writing. The bill also adds a rule that if the governor doesn't nominate a replacement by the tenth day of the legislative session, the departing member is automatically re-appointed.
