South Dakota landowners who own property next to township roads must now cut weeds and brush in the road's right-of-way between September 1 and October 1 each year, or on dates set by local supervisors—changing the requirement from being discretionary to mandatory. If a landowner fails to do so, the township board can hire someone to remove the vegetation and bill the landowner for the cost. Violating this requirement is a petty offense.
