The bill proposes the establishment of noncustodial visitation rights for fathers of minors born out of wedlock in South Dakota. Specifically, it introduces a new section to chapter 25-5, stating that once paternity is established in accordance with section 25-8-50, the father is entitled to minimum noncustodial parenting time as outlined in chapter 25-4A. This entitlement is contingent upon the condition that such visitation does not result in serious detriment to the minor.

This legislative change aims to ensure that fathers have the opportunity to maintain a relationship with their children, even when they do not have custodial rights. By formalizing these visitation rights, the bill seeks to promote the involvement of fathers in the lives of their children, while also prioritizing the well-being of the minors involved.
