Senate lawmakers are rejecting a proposal to fully fund nursing homes. That comes after nearly a dozen nursing homes in the state have closed in the last year.

The House failed to override a veto from Governor Kristi Noem striking down a hotel tax bill. House Bill 1109 increased the tax local governments can charge on some hotels from $2 to $4 per room.
