The bill amends certain provisions related to the proof of service of legal documents in South Dakota. Specifically, it revises the language in Section 15-6-4(e) to clarify that personal service is constituted by leaving a copy of the documents at the defendant's dwelling with any person over the age of fourteen who resides or is employed there, rather than just "someone." Additionally, Section 15-6-4(g) is amended to specify that proof of service must include the time, place, and manner of service, and it updates the language to reflect that the affidavit or certificate must be from the relevant party or representative, including provisions for service by a sheriff or other individuals.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision that allows for personal delivery to a private mailbox location, where an employee can accept service on behalf of a client and is required to forward the notice to that client. This amendment aims to modernize the service process and ensure that legal documents are effectively delivered, while also clarifying the responsibilities of those involved in the service of legal documents.
