HB1131 mandates the South Dakota Department of Public Safety to waive the fee for an original or duplicate nondriver identification card one time for applicants who are homeless.
The South Dakota State Senate passed HB1131 on February 27, 2024 by a vote of 27 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill expands government intervention and imposes additional financial burdens on taxpayers, essentially picking winners and losers. This bill is another step toward socialism as it undermines the principles of fiscal responsibility and personal accountability.
