35-4-11.1. County determination of number of on-sale licenses and amount of fees--Number restricted by population--Denial of reissuance--Certain licenses exempted from quotas. If not previously fixed by ordinance or continuing resolution, the board of county commissioners shall, on or before the first of September in each year, determine the number of on-sale licenses it will approve for the ensuing calendar year and the fees to be charged for the various classifications of licenses. The number of licenses issued may not exceed three for the first one thousand of population and may not exceed one for each additional fifteen hundred of population or fraction thereof, the population to include only those residing within the county but outside the incorporated municipalities and improvement districts, created pursuant to chapter 7-25A, within the county. However, any license issued in an improvement district prior to July 1, 2000, shall be included when calculating the total number of licenses that may be issued by the county where the improvement district is located. No licensee regularly licensed to do business on July 1, 1981, may be denied reissuance of a license in subsequent years solely by reason of any limitations, based upon population quotas, of the number of licenses authorized or established under the provisions of this title. Licenses issued to concessionaires, and lessees of the State of South Dakota, within the boundaries of state parks, prior to January 1, 1983, may be subtracted when calculating the total number of licenses permitted in this section. The quotas established in this section do not apply to licenses issued pursuant to subdivisions 35-4-2(12), (16), (17), (17A), and (19).
