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, who must then be confirmed by a majority vote from both houses of the Legislature.
Governor Larry Rhoden has nominated Venhuizen for the position, and the Senate of the One Hundredth Legislature has adopted the resolution to confirm his appointment. The resolution was officially adopted on January 30, 2025, by the Senate, affirming Venhuizen's new role in the state's executive leadership.
