This bill establishes a new legal provision in South Dakota that clarifies the status of digital networks concerning product liability claims. Specifically, it states that a cause of action based on the doctrine of product liability, whether under strict liability or negligence, cannot be pursued against a digital network as defined in existing law.
By enacting this provision, the bill aims to protect digital networks from being held liable under product liability claims, thereby providing legal certainty for operators and users of such networks. This change is intended to foster innovation and growth in the digital economy by limiting the legal risks associated with operating digital platforms.
