This 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 bill ensures that the increased surcharge will remain in effect indefinitely, providing continued funding for emergency services.
The specific legal language being deleted from current law is the section that states, "Section 1 of this Act expires on July 1, 2026." With this repeal, the 911 emergency surcharge increase will no longer have a predetermined end date, allowing for sustained financial support for essential emergency response services in South Dakota.
