The 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 by private parties, unless a specific law dictates otherwise.

This change aims to ensure that governmental entities are subject to the same legal limitations regarding construction deficiencies as private individuals, promoting fairness and consistency in legal proceedings related to construction issues.
