South Dakota counties can now issue off-sale liquor licenses (for packaged alcohol sales like stores and gas stations) directly, rather than having this authority limited only to municipalities and improvement districts. The bill also sets limits on how many off-sale licenses counties can issue based on their population—up to three licenses for the first thousand residents and one additional license for every 1,500 residents thereafter (outside of incorporated towns).
