This bill updates South Dakota's rules for handling subpoenas in administrative hearings by clarifying who can issue them and how they work. The changes allow parties in contested cases to more directly issue subpoenas on their own behalf rather than requiring agency involvement, and they streamline the language around what evidence agencies must consider when deciding cases. These revisions make the administrative hearing process more flexible for the people involved while maintaining fairness and legal sufficiency standards.
