Yankton Thrive hosted the first District 18 Legislative Cracker Barrel of the 2024 session on Saturday.
One of the topics that sparked a major discussion during the Cracker Barrel was the sunset clause in the sales tax decrease from last year which saw a 0.3% decrease.
Representative Mike Stevens, who voted against a bill this session that would’ve removed the sunset clause and make the decrease permanent, says that they need more time before making a decision.
Senator Jean Hunhoff says that they may not have enough data to make a decision on the sunset clause until 2026.
The sunset clause on the state sales tax decrease is set to expire in 2027.
