The bill amends the official code of laws for the State of South Dakota, specifically updating the list of revisions included in the code. Notable changes include the replacement of the 2011 revision of volume 20 with the 2025 revision, the addition of the 2025 revisions for volumes 20A, 30, and 31, and the inclusion of the 2022 revisions for volumes 23, 24, and 26. Additionally, the bill updates the reference year for the session of the Legislature from 2025 to 2026 in multiple sections, ensuring that the enactment of the code does not affect the validity of any prior transactions or legal actions.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that any statutes enacted in the 2026 session of the Legislature will be considered as enacted after the code's enactment. It establishes that if any new statute conflicts with the provisions of the code, the new statute will take precedence. This legislative update aims to maintain the accuracy and relevance of the state's legal framework by incorporating the most recent revisions and ensuring clarity in the relationship between new and existing laws.
