HB1250

HB 1250 updates South Dakota's rules for serving legal documents by allowing service to be left with any person over 14 at the defendant's home or workplace, rather than requiring a specific relationship to the resident. The bill also modernizes the language describing how to prove service was completed (such as through affidavits or certificates) and adds a new option allowing service through private mailbox locations, where an employee must accept and forward the notice to the client.
