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 House of Representatives has officially adopted the resolution confirming his appointment on January 30, 2025. This action aligns with the constitutional requirement for filling the lieutenant governor's office in the event of a permanent vacancy.
