SB 121 changes South Dakota's child support guidelines by revising the rules that courts use to calculate parenting payments and removes the South Dakota Supreme Court's authority to create or update these guidelines in the future. Instead of allowing the Supreme Court to set parenting guidelines, the Legislature will control how child support is determined going forward.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
