HB 1275 modifies South Dakota's law on underinsured motorist insurance claims by changing how judgments that cannot be collected from an underinsured driver are handled. The specific changes to state law (Section 22-42-1) adjust the rules for what happens when an accident victim wins a lawsuit against an underinsured motorist but cannot collect the full judgment amount.
