Unlikely Grocery Tax Cut Measure Could Be Addressed Through Ballot Questions

(Pierre, SD) — A grocery tax cut that is unlikely to pass in the state legislature could be addressed through two potential ballot questions. Attorney General Marty Jackley has submitted explanations for an initiated measure and a constitutional amendment in connection with the state food tax. If the ballot initiatives are passed, they would ban the state taxation of products meant for human consumption. Municipalities would still be able to collect taxes on food.
