Rep. Linda Duba, a Sioux Falls Democrat, informed legislative leadership she will stay away from the Capitol building during the upcoming legislative session out of concern for her health.
The 64-year-old lawmaker says she will not attend meetings in-person until she receives two doses of a vaccine.
The Legislature is set to convene in Pierre on Jan. 12 for a two-month session.
