SB 26 lowers the employer contribution rates that fund South Dakota's unemployment insurance (called reemployment assistance) by reducing rates across all three tax schedules by 0.5 percentage points. The bill also increases the administrative fee rate that employers pay to support the program's operations. These changes are intended to provide tax relief to employers while maintaining adequate funding for unemployment benefits and program administration.
