The resolution confirms Tonnis H. Venhuizen as the lieutenant governor of South Dakota following the vacancy created by Larry Rhoden's ascension to the governorship after Kristi Noem's resignation. According to the South Dakota Constitution, the governor is responsible for nominating a new lieutenant governor to fill such a vacancy, which must then be confirmed by a majority vote from both houses of the Legislature.
Governor Larry Rhoden has nominated Tonnis H. Venhuizen for this position, and the resolution serves as the formal confirmation by the Senate of the One Hundredth Legislature of South Dakota, in accordance with the state's constitutional provisions.
