Requires review of financing plans for tax increment financing districts in South Dakota.

South Dakota SB203 mandates that the governing body of a political subdivision submit a project plan and financing plan for a tax increment financing district to an independent third party. This third party must provide a cost-benefit analysis, an estimate of the expected change in property tax distribution, and an estimate of the expected effects on employment, housing, and economic output. The bill aims to ensure that the benefits of the project exceed its costs to property owners and political subdivisions.
