This bill amends the definition of an agricultural equipment dealer in South Dakota law. Specifically, it modifies Section 32-39-3 to clarify that a dealer is defined as any person whose sales of the manufacturer's equipment constitute thirty percent or more of the dealer's total gross agricultural equipment sales in the previous calendar year.

The primary purpose of this amendment is to eliminate any existing exclusions from the definition of an agricultural equipment dealer, thereby ensuring a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding of who qualifies as a dealer in the agricultural equipment sector. This change aims to enhance regulatory clarity and potentially expand the number of entities recognized as agricultural equipment dealers under state law.
