revise the liability of a guarantor.

This bill directs the South Dakota Legislature to study and review the laws governing how much financial responsibility loan guarantors have when borrowers default on loans. The bill itself doesn't make any immediate changes to guarantor liability rules, but instead establishes that the Legislature should examine this area of law to determine if revisions are needed.

authorize service animals in-training to enter certain establishments.

Service animals in training can now accompany their trainers in public places like restaurants and stores, just like fully trained service animals can accompany people with disabilities. The bill adds this right for service animals still in training while keeping the existing rule that disabled people and their trained service animals are not charged extra fees. Business owners who refuse to allow these in-training animals face the same penalties as those who refuse trained service animals.
