South Dakota is eliminating the Agricultural Land Assessment Implementation and Oversight Advisory Task Force and shifting its duties to the Department of Revenue, which will now directly receive recommendations and report on agricultural land values instead of relying on a separate advisory committee. The Department of Revenue will continue to set rules for how agricultural land is valued, including procedures for determining income values based on eight-year crop data averages.
The amendment eliminates the Agricultural Land Assessment Implementation and Oversight Advisory Task Force entirely and redirects its functions, so that instead of the task force reviewing proposed rules and recommendations, the Department of Revenue now directly receives recommendations from contracted entities by September first each year and reports findings to the legislature. This change NARROWS the bill's scope by removing the advisory task force structure while streamlining the recommendation process to be more direct and administratively efficient.
