HB 1263 removes an exclusion from the legal definition of an "agricultural equipment dealer" in South Dakota law. The bill simplifies the definition so that any person whose equipment sales equal or exceed 30% of their gross agricultural equipment sales in the previous year qualifies as a dealer, without certain exceptions that were previously listed. This change broadens who can be classified as an agricultural equipment dealer under state law.
The amendment removes the exclusion that prevented dealers whose principal business is selling off-road construction equipment from being classified as agricultural equipment dealers, thereby broadening the definition to include such dealers. This change strengthens the bill's original purpose by eliminating a carve-out that previously exempted this category of sellers from the agricultural equipment dealer definition.
