establish the homeowner tax reduction fund.
SB 212 establishes a new "homeowner tax reduction fund" in the South Dakota state treasury, administered by the Department of Revenue. The fund provides property tax rebates specifically for owner-occupied single-family homes. It is funded through dedicated state revenue (as specified in the bill's text), with interest earning on the fund remaining within it. The fund cannot be transferred to the general state budget, ensuring its dedicated use for homeowner rebates.
