South Dakota SB205 revises drone registration fees and establishes a fund to support drone aviation training.

South Dakota SB205 amends the registration fees for drones, setting a two percent tax on all drones and a one and one-half percent tax on drones used exclusively for agricultural purposes. The bill creates the drone aviation fund, which receives all fees imposed on drones and is administered by the Board of Technical Education. The fund is intended to award grants for drone aviation training through the state's technical colleges.
