This bill mandates the establishment of a new section in South Dakota law requiring the Legislative Research Council to create and maintain a webpage for each legislator. This webpage will document every recorded vote made by the legislator on bills and resolutions in their chamber and in committees they are appointed to, starting from sessions convened after July 1, 2026. Additionally, if a legislator is absent or excused from a vote, this information must also be recorded on their webpage.

The voting records will be designed to be prominently displayed and easily accessible to the public as a tab on each legislator's profile page, ensuring transparency and accountability in the legislative process. This initiative aims to enhance public access to legislators' voting histories, thereby fostering greater engagement and oversight by constituents.
