Settlement agreements made by the Associated School Boards of South Dakota Protective Trust Workers Compensation Pool can no longer include non-disclosure agreements that hide the terms or settlement amounts—those details must be discoverable in court proceedings like any other workers' compensation settlement. Any confidentiality clause that violates this rule in agreements signed after July 1, 2025, will be void and unenforceable.
