SDCL § 5-29-15: State not liable for research park debts.

Nothing in this chapter authorizes the Board of Regents or any entity operating a research park under a lease, contract, or agreement with the Board of Regents to contract a debt on behalf of, or in any way to obligate, the State of South Dakota, or to pledge, assign, or encumber in any way, or to permit the pledging, assigning, or encumbering in any way, of appropriations made by the Legislature of the State of South Dakota. No debt or liability of a research park is an indebtedness, legal or moral, of the State of South Dakota, and no creditor may have recourse against the State of South Dakota or any fund created or maintained directly or indirectly from state taxation.
