What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The South Dakota Farmers Union requested that Governor Larry Rhoden and state lawmakers call a special legislative session to approve a state fuel tax holiday. The organization is asking for a temporary reduction of the state tax on gasoline and diesel from 28 cents to 1 cent per gallon. The union also requested legislation allowing the use of federally tax-exempt, offroad, red-dyed diesel in highway vehicles while suspending enforcement actions.
