South Dakota courts currently use standard guidelines to determine the minimum amount of parenting time for noncustodial parents in custody cases, but this bill adds a requirement that these guidelines be formally reviewed and potentially updated at least every five years through a public hearing process. The state court administrator will oversee these regular reviews to ensure the guidelines stay current with changing family circumstances and child-rearing practices.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
