Now the bill heads back to Noem’s desk, where she can either choose to sign it, or it will go back to the legislature as a vetoed bill, which would require a two-thirds majority of lawmakers to override, according to the Argus Leader.
The governor is expected to call a special session to consider a new bill that would include the changes she has proposed, according to the paper.
After the bill passed the state Senate last month in a 20-15 vote, Noem had indicated she would sign the bill into law, before quickly changing her mind and frustrating her fellow Republicans.
