Motor vehicle service contracts—agreements that cover repairs or maintenance on cars—will no longer be regulated as insurance under South Dakota law. This exemption means companies selling these contracts won't need insurance licenses or follow the same rules as traditional insurance companies. The change removes motor vehicle service contracts from the definition of "insurance" in the state's insurance code.
