SDCL § 36-13-22: Temporary certificate to engage in business.

The board may issue a temporary certificate to any person desiring to engage in the business of abstracting in any county where there is no registered abstracter, or where the only existing abstract plant has been destroyed so that its records and indexes are not available, or where the certificate of the only qualified abstracter has been canceled for cause by order of the board, without the possession of an abstract plant, if the person successfully completes the examination required by § 36-13-11 and furnishes the bond required in § 36-13-15. No certificate issued pursuant to this section may be continued in effect for more than four years.
