modify the blight requirements for purposes of creating a tax increment financing district.
SB 192 corrects a typo in South Dakota's law governing tax increment financing districts by clarifying that at least 50% of a proposed district's area must qualify as blighted or meet economic development criteria. This change directly affects counties and municipalities seeking to create such districts for redevelopment projects. The bill does not alter the definition of "blighted area" (which includes deteriorated structures, poor layouts, or unsafe conditions) or other requirements like municipal consent. It ensures the legal standard is clear and consistent for local governments pursuing economic revitalization through tax increment financing.
