MINOR
SB 129 amends South Dakota's liquor licensing laws to clarify renewal fee requirements for on-sale licensees whose business premises are annexed into a first-class municipality. The bill adds a new license category for convention facility on-sale licenses and modifies existing fee structures to ensure consistency after municipal annexations.
Scope change
The bill expands applicability to include convention facility on-sale licenses and clarifies fee obligations for licensees affected by municipal annexations into first-class municipalities.
REQUIREMENT
Added a new license category (13) for convention facility on-sale licenses with a fee of not less than one dollar per resident and a maximum renewal fee of fifteen hundred dollars.
Modified Section 35-4-13 to specify that first-class municipalities may set renewal fees equal to the most recent on-sale license fee issued after annexation, but cannot impose increased fees on licensees who previously paid fees at or above the municipality's standard rate.
Added a cap stating that subsequent renewal fees must not exceed fifteen hundred dollars as specified in subdivision 35-4-2(4).
