ABERDEEN, S.D.(HubCityRadio)- On Tuesday night, South Dakotans voted against Referred Law 21(Landowner Bill of Right) on a 60-40 vote.

Spink County landowner Ed Fischbach feels this will send a message to Governor Noem and South Dakota legislators.

Despite the result, Fischbach believes Summit Carbon Solutions will submit their bid to the South Dakota PUC.

Summit released the following statement after the vote:

“Summit Carbon Solutions will apply for a permit in South Dakota on November 19, 2024. Our focus continues to be on working with landowners and ensuring the long-term viability of ethanol and agriculture in the state. Projects like ours have successfully navigated South Dakota’s existing regulatory landscape in the past. We will continue to operate within the current framework, knowing that the future of ethanol and agriculture is vital to our shared success.”
