SB 150 adds a new exemption to South Dakota's debt collection laws that protects one motor vehicle owned by a debtor from being seized to pay off debts. This means creditors can no longer take a debtor's car through legal proceedings, provided it's the debtor's only vehicle or primary vehicle being claimed as exempt. The bill expands protections for debtors by joining other essential property—like family clothing and a year's worth of food—that cannot be taken by creditors.
