South Dakota mobile food vendors with a state license can now operate anywhere in the state, though cities can still require a permit to operate in public parks—but cannot limit how many permits they issue or impose restrictions like distance requirements from restaurants, employee licensing, operating hour limits, GPS tracking, or extra inspections. This change prevents local governments from using regulations to unfairly block food trucks from competing with established restaurants.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
