This bill proposes to revise the applicability of the statute of repose concerning construction deficiencies in South Dakota. It introduces a new section to chapter 15-2A, which states that the limitations set forth in this chapter will apply equally to actions initiated by the state or any governmental entity, as well as those brought for the benefit of the state or governmental entity, just as they do for private parties.

The bill emphasizes that this equal treatment will hold unless there are specific legal provisions that dictate otherwise. This change aims to clarify the legal framework surrounding construction deficiency claims and ensure consistency in how such actions are treated, regardless of whether they are initiated by private individuals or governmental entities.
