BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
     Section  1.  That chapter 10-41 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:
     If the inheritance tax has not been paid within one year after the date of death of the decedent and it appears to the satisfaction of the secretary of revenue that the failure to pay such tax within one year after the decedent's death is due to the difficulty or impossibility of identifying the heirs of the decedent, the secretary may waive or compromise the interest on such tax from the date when first accrued until such time as, in the judgment of the secretary, such cause is removed.
     Section  2.  That § 10-40-2 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SUBDIVISION to read as follows:
     Intangible personal property owned by a nonresident of South Dakota is not subject to the tax imposed by this section. Intangible personal property held by a revocable or irrevocable trust, which property was transferred to the trust by a decedent who was a nonresident of South Dakota both at the time that such property was transferred to the trust and at the time of death is not subject to the tax imposed by this section. Nothing contained in this subdivision may be construed to alter or affect existing laws concerning transfers by residents of South Dakota.
