S.D. Codified Laws § 15-2-14.5
Current with legislation signed by the governor on or before 3/6/2024
An action against a veterinarian or any member of a veterinarian's staff for malpractice, error, mistake, or failure to cure, whether based upon contract or tort, may be commenced only within three years after the alleged malpractice, error, mistake, or failure to cure has occurred. However, the provisions of this section do not prohibit any counterclaim for malpractice, error, mistake, or failure to cure, as a defense to any action for services brought by a veterinarian.
