prohibit use of the South Dakota public utilities commission gross receipts tax fund for reimbursement of costs incurred by the Public Utilities Commission.

HB 1007 prohibits the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission from using money from the state's gross receipts tax fund to reimburse its own operating expenses. This change directly affects the state agency by restricting its access to a specific revenue source for internal cost recovery. The bill prevents the commission from drawing funds from the gross receipts tax fund, requiring it to find alternative funding sources for its operational costs. This policy adjustment limits how the agency can manage its budget without changing the overall tax structure or affecting individual taxpayers.
