Summary

The bill would allow nonresident service members stationed in South Dakota and their families to avoid paying the annual registration fee for one personal vehicle. Applicants must submit an application to the Department of Revenue with military orders or equivalent proof. The exemption can be renewed each year but does not cover specialty‑plate fees or the excise tax on a vehicle’s purchase price.
