This bill adds lithium to South Dakota's definition of precious metals subject to the state's minerals severance tax and sets a specific tax rate for lithium that companies extract in the state. The bill also repeals several outdated tax provisions to streamline the tax code. This change allows the state to collect taxes on lithium mining operations, which have become more economically significant due to growing demand for lithium in batteries.
