SB150DeadTransportation
exempt one motor vehicle of a debtor from being taken by legal process.
South Dakota law currently protects certain property from being seized to pay debts, and this bill adds one motor vehicle to that list of protected property. Debtors will now be able to keep one vehicle from being taken through legal collection processes, similar to how they can already keep essential household items, clothing, and religious property. This change helps ensure debtors retain basic transportation while satisfying their creditors through other means.
