PIERRE, S.D. – Gov. Dennis Daugaard has signed Senate Bill 26, an act to update terminology for individuals with intellectual disabilities and similar terms.
“A nationwide movement to promote respectful and inclusive language is developing, and I believe it’s important for South Dakota and its citizens to be part of it,” the Governor said. “This change in terminology promotes the dignity and humanity of South Dakotans with intellectual disabilities.”
