The bill aims to prohibit the use of drones for assessing real property for taxation purposes in South Dakota. It introduces a new section to chapter 10-6, stating that a director or their deputy is not allowed to utilize drones or any information obtained from them in the assessment process.

Additionally, the bill establishes a penalty for violations of this prohibition, classifying such an offense as a Class 2 misdemeanor. This legislative measure seeks to ensure that traditional methods of property assessment are maintained and that the use of drones does not interfere with the taxation process.
