PIERRE — Gov. Dennis Daugaard put his pen to HB 1066 on Thursday, making the state tourism tax rate 1.5 percent indefinitely.

The rate would have decreased to 1 percent on July 1 without the permanent extension. The Legislature originally passed the extra half-percent in 2009 and the Legislature reauthorized it for two more years in 2011 rather than permanently as Daugaard wanted then.
