This bill amends the definition of an agricultural equipment dealer in South Dakota by removing a specific exclusion. Previously, the law stated that the term "dealer" did not include those whose principal business was the sale of off-road construction equipment. The amendment eliminates this exclusion, thereby broadening the definition of who qualifies as an agricultural equipment dealer.

As a result of this change, more businesses that sell off-road construction equipment may now be recognized as agricultural equipment dealers, potentially allowing them to benefit from regulations and provisions applicable to this category. This legislative adjustment aims to create a more inclusive definition that reflects the diverse nature of equipment sales in the agricultural sector.
