26073SS11 FORM 6 South Dakota State Brand Board Notice of Public Hearing to Adopt Rules A public hearing will be held in the Kneip Building, Conference Room 3, 700 Governors Drive, Pierre SD on August 5, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. (Central) / 10:30 a.m. (Mountain), to consider the adoption and amendment of proposed Administrative Rule of South Dakota numbered 12:10:02:05 The effect of the proposed amendment to the rule will be a $0.45 per head increase in the Livestock Ownership Inspection Fee. The current Livestock Ownership Inspection Fee, set in 2013, is $1.00 per head. This amendment would set the Livestock Ownership inspection Fee at $1.45 per head. The reason for adopting the proposed amendment to the rule is the $1.00 per head Livestock Ownership Inspection Fee, which has been in place for the past 13 years, no longer generates sufficient revenue to cover the cost to administer the livestock inspection program. Persons interested in presenting amendments, data, opinions, and arguments for or against the proposed rules may appear in-person at the hearing, or mail or e-mail them to South Dakota State Brand Board, Attn: Debbie Trapp, 430 W. Sioux Ave., Pierre SD and debbie.trapp@state.sd.us.
