HB1281 lowers the sales tax rate on food while raising tax rates on other goods and services to help fund school district construction projects. The bill restructures South Dakota's sales and use tax system by reducing what families pay when buying groceries and food items, offsetting that loss with higher tax rates elsewhere in the code. The money collected goes into a new fund specifically dedicated to helping school districts pay for capital improvements like building and facility upgrades.
