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

Additionally, the bill introduces 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 drone technology does not interfere with the taxation process.
