SDCL § 7-9-15.1: Immunity from personal liability for bad checks.

A register of deeds is not personally liable for any insufficient-funds or no-account checks or uncollectible accounts receivable for any transaction collected or charged if the register of deeds exercised due diligence and if such collections or charges arise in the course of the register of deeds' official duties. The collection and removal procedures of §§ 7-11-4 and 7-11-4.2 also apply to transactions of the register of deeds office.
