flag Nearly half of South Dakota’s 2025 gubernatorial appointees lacked required financial disclosures due to website issues and non-compliance.

flag A South Dakota Searchlight review found that nearly half of the 2025 gubernatorial appointees confirmed by the state Senate lacked current financial interest disclosures on the Secretary of State’s website, with 14 missing 2025 filings—six had no disclosures at all and eight had outdated ones. flag Some documents were inaccessible due to website errors. flag The Governor’s Office said all forms were submitted, but the Secretary of State’s Office claimed it never received them and does not enforce compliance, only posting documents as a public service on an outdated website. flag Lawmakers warn the lack of access undermines public trust and conflict-of-interest oversight, despite a state law requiring appointees to file financial statements before confirmation.
