South Dakota law will now require that snow bears be titled and licensed like motor vehicles, subjecting them to the same registration and titling requirements that currently apply to cars and trucks. The bill amends several sections of South Dakota's vehicle code to include snow bears in the definition of vehicles that must be registered with the Department of Revenue. This means snow bear owners will need to obtain a title and license for their vehicles before operating them on South Dakota roads or property.
The amendment updated two internal bill reference numbers from "26.963.11" to "26.963.12" throughout the engrossed version, which appears to be a technical correction to align with the bill's proper codification. This is a housekeeping change that does not substantively alter the bill's requirement that snow bears be titled and licensed.
