南达科他州立法者由于税收和公平问题,否决了一项法案,以较高的销售税取代学校财产税。 South Dakota lawmakers rejected a bill to replace school property taxes with a higher sales tax due to revenue and equity concerns.

南达科他州立法者本周提出多项提案, 包括用于资助交通的硬黑或固白牌照, 将大麻管制置于联邦监督之下, 每年节省约20万美元, 以及更强有力的打击网上剥削儿童的工具。 South Dakota legislators advanced several proposals this week, including solid-black or solid-white license plates to help fund transportation, a move to place hemp regulation under federal oversight to save about $200,000 annually, and stronger tools to combat online child exploitation. 然而,参议院第99号法案建议取消学校区财产税,将国家销售税从4.2%提高到6.2%。 该法案在税收委员会中失败了。 However, Senate Bill 99, which proposed eliminating school district property taxes by raising the state sales tax from 4.2% to 6.2%, failed in the Taxation Committee. 立法者提出了对税收不稳定、退税影响和学校筹资风险的关切,强调国家面临的广泛挑战,即如何找到可持续办法解决提高财产税的问题。 Lawmakers cited concerns over revenue instability, regressive tax impacts, and risks to school funding, underscoring the broader challenge—echoed nationally—of finding sustainable solutions to rising property taxes.
