This bill updates South Dakota's insurance document delivery rules to clarify what "electronic delivery" means and who qualifies as a "party" entitled to receive insurance notices. Insurance companies can now deliver documents by email (if the recipient consents) or by posting them online with a separate email notification alerting the recipient to check the posting. The bill also defines new categories like "covered employees" and "covered persons" in group health plans to ensure all relevant individuals receive required insurance documents.
