Broadcaster Press 3 December 29, 2015 www.broadcasteronline.com Secretary of State Krebs Announces Plan to Expand Rights for Crime Victims Pierre, SD – Today, Secretary of State Shantel Krebs announced that an Initiated Amendment to the South Dakota Constitution to Expand Rights for Crime Victims was validated and certified to be on the November 2016 general election ballot as a ballot measure that the citizens will vote on. The sponsor turned in 53,687 signatures to the Secretary of state’s office. An Initiated Amendment to the Constitution required a minimum of 27,741 signatures from South Dakota registered voters. Once the signatures were delivered to the Secretary of State’s office, a 5% random sampling was conducted. It was determined that 64% of signatures were in good standing. Secretary Krebs stated that “South Dakota has a long and rich history of citizens taking issues directly to the voters. After serving 10 years in the legislature it is an enjoyable role for me to act as an impartial official in the initiated measure process and ensure that the citizens of South Dakota have a chance to voice their concern in regards to the ballot measures that meet the signature threshold.” Video link and Audio attachment update from Secretary Krebs: https:// www.dropbox.com/s/irv81ffl39a361k/Marcy's%20Law%20 Krebs%20Video%20Update.

Challenges to all statewide initiatives and referendums must be brought within 30 days after the petition has been validated and filed by the Secretary of State (SDCL 12-1-13) 1. When does the 30 days start to run? The 30 days starts to run once the petition is officially filed with the Secretary of State’s Office; the petition is only filed after the Office goes through the petition validation process and determines that the petition contains a sufficient number of signatures to be filed. 2. How will potential challengers know when their 30 days begins to run? Once the Office makes a determination that there are a sufficient number of signatures such to file the petition, the Secretary of State’s Office will make that information publically available through social media, including twitter updates that are available on the Secretary of State’s website. 3. How is each petition labeled or marked? How should challengers make arrangements to review the petitions? The Secretary of State’s Office runs each self-contained petition through a scanner, which places the date, time and a sequential number on each petition. Challengers seeking to “research” the signatures pursuant to SDCL 12-1-13 should contact Kea Warne at the Secretary of State’s Office (605) 773-5003 to make the necessary arrangements. 4. How much does it cost for copies of the petition sheet? The Secretary of State is required by state law to charge $1.00 per page for copies. Copies of petitions are two pages due to the petition being printed front and back side which would calculate to a copy fee of $2.00 per petition. This fee applies to both paper and electronic copies. 5. What order do you process the petitions in? The Secretary of State's office will process each petition one at a time, and in the order in which they are received. 6.

Tim and Suzanne were born and raised in South Dakota, and attended the University of South Dakota where they met in choir. By the grace of God, and judicious servings of Chardonnay, they have maintained a beautiful marriage in which their abiding love and friendship is evident to all. Mrs. Cusick is the former Suzanne Vanderpol of Corsica, South Dakota, and the daughter of Alvin and Viola Vanderpol. Mr. Cusick hails from a farm outside of Vermillion, and is the son of Harold and Joan Cusick. Under the spell of California dreamin’, they relocated to San Jose, but ultimately found their true selves in Oregon, where they have remained since 1981. Their children, Christine and Angus Nesbit, Colleen and Jay Jenson, Carrie Carlin and Clark Cusick, and grandchildren, Madeleine, Grace and Rachel, are grateful for the true love and example of Tim and Suzanne. Together, the family will celebrate this event at Disneyland.
