This concurrent resolution doesn't change any existing laws—instead, it expresses the South Dakota Legislature's encouragement for residents to use physical cash for purchases and for businesses to offer discounts for cash payments. The resolution cites benefits like privacy protection, lower transaction costs, and economic resilience as reasons for promoting cash use.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
