61-5-31. New experience-rating account established after five years without coverage--Prior balances not considered--Exception. Any employer who has had no employment in South Dakota subject to this title for five consecutive years shall establish a new experience-rating account for the determination of future contribution rates, and any balances or overdrafts in the experience-rating account established prior to the interruption of operations in South Dakota or the interruption of coverage under this title may not be used in the determination of such future rates. However, an entity that has never discontinued operations has the option of resuming its experience rating account balance if the entity again becomes an employer subject to this title within the immediately following second consecutive five-year period.
