Legislative Hallways
There are long legislative hallways on each side of the Chambers. They are furnished with 1910 original pieces of furniture. The purpose of the hallways is to provide a private relaxing space away from the general public during the Legislative Session. In South Dakota, the Legislative Session always commences on the second Tuesday of January. In odd-numbered years the Session runs for 40 days and in even-numbered years it runs for 35 days. Special Sessions may be called by the Governor or by two-thirds of both houses of the Legislature.
The most recent Special Sessions were held in September 1994, March 1997, December 2000, October 2001, June 2003 and October 2005. Another special session had been requested by the Governor in November 2006, but it was called off.
