The bill aims to repeal the expiration date for the 911 emergency surcharge increase that was previously set to expire on July 1, 2026. By removing this expiration date, the surcharge will remain in effect indefinitely, ensuring continued funding for emergency services without the need for future legislative action to extend it.

Specifically, the bill deletes the language that states "Section 1 of this Act expires on July 1, 2026," thereby allowing the 911 emergency surcharge to persist beyond the previously established deadline. This change is intended to provide stability and reliability in funding for essential emergency response services in South Dakota.
