to remove the tax exemption for cosmetic medical procedures.

# HB 1160 Summary This bill removes the state sales tax exemption that currently applies to cosmetic medical procedures, meaning patients will now have to pay South Dakota sales tax when they receive procedures like Botox injections, facelifts, or other purely cosmetic treatments. The change generates additional tax revenue by treating cosmetic procedures the same as other taxable services, rather than giving them a special exemption.

Counties in South Dakota would gain the authority to impose a 1% tax on gross receipts from short-term lodging, alcohol sales, food establishments, and admission tickets to entertainment events. Revenue from this new county tax must be used specifically for public safety and health services, including law enforcement, courts, substance abuse treatment, and emergency medical services. This creates a new option for counties to fund these services without raising property taxes.
