SB 94 updates South Dakota's open records exemptions by clarifying the language used to describe which records don't have to be made public, such as student records, medical records, trade secrets, attorney work product, and law enforcement investigation files. The changes primarily involve rewording existing exemptions for grammatical clarity and consistency—for example, changing "such the records" to "the records" and "which that" to "which"—without substantially altering what information is protected from public disclosure.
