The Legislature this year weighed religious protections for adoption agencies, considered limits on gifts from lobbyists, and opened the door to a non-intoxicating marijuana extract.

Those bills and dozens of others are set to take effect Saturday.

Here's a look at some of the laws set to be enacted July 1:

Adoption restrictions: Child placement agencies with sincerely-held religious beliefs will be guaranteed protections that allow them to continue granting adoptions based on sexual orientation, relationship status or religious beliefs.

Groups like Catholic Social Services and Bethany Christian Services, which administer private adoptions, said they wanted to prevent laws like those approved in Massachusetts and Illinois that require similar groups to drop religious rules for child placement or lose state funding.

No group that uses such policies currently benefits from state funding for their adoption services.

Revolving door policy: The state's waiting period for lawmakers wanting to become lobbyists will expand to two years. Previously, legislators have had to wait one year.

Lobbyist gift limit: Lawmakers and other elected officials will no longer be able to accept gifts from lobbyists valued at more than $100 each year. Legislators built in some caveats, however, allowing themselves to accept meals, beverages and invitations to certain events. South Dakota was the only state that didn't have a formal cap on lobbyist giving.

License plates: The state will offer two new license plates beginning July 1: one for tribal veterans and another depicting the Dignity sculpture in Chamberlain.

Mug shots: Have you ever noticed the photos we often use of alleged perpetrators making their way to court? Expect to see fewer of those and more formal booking photographs as state law will make felony offenders' mug shots open to public access.

Marijuana derivative: Cannabidiol, an extract of marijuana used to relieve severe seizure disorders, will be reclassified as a Schedule IV drug. It will remain illegal under state law until a pharmaceutical company receives FDA approval for a drug containing CBD.

Hair braiding: A South Dakota law will decriminalize the practice of hair braiding, which wasn't specifically mentioned in the state's cosmetology statute. Some called in unofficial braiders prior to the bill's passage, saying those who braid shouldn't be allowed to do so without a license.

Government Accountability: A board tasked with policing those in the executive branch and fielding complaints from the public is set to be appointed by the governor soon after a law creating the Government Accountability Board takes effect Saturday.

Abortion penalty: Lawmakers increased the penalty for those who perform an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy from a misdemeanor to a felony.
