South Dakota's Attorney General can now issue "investigative subpoenas" with a judge's approval to obtain business records (like data from internet companies and phone providers) that are relevant to criminal investigations. This new authority applies to investigations of state offenses related to the internet and requires the Attorney General to show "reasonable cause"—meaning specific facts showing the records are relevant to an active criminal case.
