S.D. Codified Laws § 37-30-5
§ 37-30-5. Applicant must file bond -- Requirements as to bond -- Failure to provide bond as misdemeanor
An applicant for registration or for a renewal of registration as a paid solicitor shall, at the time of
making such application, file with and have approved by the attorney general a bond from a surety company
qualified to do business in the state. The bond shall be for the sum of twenty thousand dollars if the
applicant would be collecting contributions solicited or otherwise having physical access to such
contributions. The bond shall be for the sum of ten thousand dollars if the applicant would only be soliciting
contributions and not be collecting or otherwise having physical access to such contributions. Registration of
any additional solicitation campaigns during the paid solicitor's registration period does not require any
additional bond. The paid solicitor shall maintain the bond in effect as long as the registration is in
effect. The bond shall run to the state and to any person who may have a cause of action against the principal
obligor of the bond for any liabilities resulting from the obligor's conduct of any activities subject to the
provisions of this chapter, or arising out of a violation of this chapter or any rules adopted pursuant to
this chapter. Any paid solicitor who fails to provide a bond as provided by this section is guilty of a Class
2 misdemeanor.
