Legislative Day Thirty-Five
By Jason | March 9, 2009
The smoking ban is on its way to the Governor! The SD House concurred with the Senate amendment, which made the violation of the smoking ban a petty offense.
Three bills that further clarify our values for agriculture land were approved. SB 3, SB 4, and SB 149 assist in making the transition to value our agriculture land based on its productivity instead of using market values. This is a good change for agriculture, because there are few parcels of agriculture land that is sold each year. Oftentimes the market price paid for that land is based on emotion, because “we just never know when more land will come available”. I support this positive change for agriculture land, and I hope that the transition will be very transparent.
