SDCL § 16-3-5.9: Court may issue notice of hearing on proposed rules changes without issuing notice requesting rules proposal.

The Supreme Court may, in its discretion, direct the clerk of the Supreme Court to give thirty days’ notice of an intention to adopt, amend, or repeal rules by electronic mail notification to members of the State Bar of South Dakota, by posting notice at the Unified Judicial System’s website at ujs.sd.gov or at the State Bar of South Dakota’s website at statebarofsouthdakota.com, or such other posting as the Court may direct without issuing the notice requesting proposal provided by § 16-3-5.2.

The notice must include a copy of the proposal in the form required by § 16-3-5.3. The notice must fix a time and place when any person interested may appear and be heard with reference to the adoption, amendment, or repeal of rules. Notice of adoption of several rules, amendments, or repeals may be given at one time and in one notice. Prior to issuing notice pursuant to this section, the proposal may be reviewed for form, style, and clarity by the chief of legal research within a time directed by the Court.
