terminate certain school district excess tax levies.
HB 1172 terminates school district excess tax levies approved before July 1, 2002, under South Dakota law. It prohibits these levies from being imposed in 2026 or any subsequent year. The bill directly affects school districts that previously secured voter-approved excess tax levies prior to 2002, ending their ability to collect these specific taxes moving forward. This is a procedural change that modifies existing tax authority without creating new programs or funding.
