SDCL § 13-49-3: Term of office of regents--Student regent excluded.

Each regent is appointed for a term of six years. The term expires on the last day of March, unless removed as provided in § 3-17-1. No regent appointed after July 1, 2018, and without any previous service on the board, may serve more than two consecutive terms. A regent who has served two consecutive terms may be reappointed if at least two years have passed since the expiration of the regent's last term. Any partial term to fill a vacancy on the board may not count against the two-term limit. This section does not apply to the student regent.
