South Dakota is raising the fees that people must pay to reinstate a suspended driver's license and the fees charged for obtaining copies of driving records. The bill increases both the reinstatement fee (which suspended drivers pay to get their license back) and the abstract fee (which people pay to request a copy of their driving history).
The amendment increases the abstract driver record fee from five dollars to seven dollars per abstract and makes technical corrections throughout the bill by replacing outdated language (such as "shall" with "must" and removing gendered pronouns). This STRENGTHENS the bill's original purpose of increasing fees by raising the abstract fee by forty percent.
