PIERRE, S.D. (KELO.com) — – The South Dakota Legislature is now accepting applications for legislative interns for the 2022 Legislative
Session.
College or university students from all majors are eligible for the twenty-two open positions.
Applications for the intern positions must be filed with the Legislative Research Council (LRC) by OCTOBER 8, 2021.
LRC’s internship program gives students an in-depth understanding of the government process by immersing them
in the daily operation of the legislative branch of government.
Interns work with legislative leadership, assist lawmakers with constituent services and other legislative tasks, and participate when needed in committee
meetings.
Students will receive $4,875 in compensation and may also receive college credits for their internship.
Additional information on the internship program including an application can be found on the LRC website.
To complete the application, the student must sign up for a free MyLRC+ account.
The 97th South Dakota Legislative Session runs from January 11, 2022 to March 28, 2022, with a recess from
March 13-27.

Council, 500 East Capitol, Pierre, SD 57501; email LRC@sdlegislature.gov; or call (605) 773-3251.
