Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Vehicle owners pay higher mailing fees
South Dakota charges $12 per mailed license plate or plate set and $2.50 per mailed decal or decal set. These charges are added to existing registration or license fees; express mailing also costs the actual postage and handling. The fees cover standard, commercial, and proportionally registered vehicles, plus dealer mailings to owners and department decal mailings to dealers. County treasurers put mailing fees for commercial plates and decals, and decals covered by the county-deposit rule, into county general funds. The department puts its commercial plate and decal mailing fees into the state motor vehicle fund.
Harvest operators pay permit mailing fees
Residents and nonresidents who own and operate vehicles or trailers for agricultural harvesting pay $2.50 for each permit mailed. This charge is added to the unchanged $75 permit fee. The permit remains valid for one calendar year. Mailing fees are handled and distributed the same way as other fees under the agricultural vehicle permit rules.
