South Dakota Sunshine Law
The South Dakota Sunshine Law is a series of laws designed to guarantee that public has access to public records of governmental bodies. Public records are defined as all records kept by public bodies in South Dakota, no matter the physical form. The state also offers OpenSD, a search-able website with many public documents available.
Anyone may request public records and a statement of purpose is not required. There are no restrictions on the use of records in the South Dakota Sunshine Law, nor is there a specified response time.
We the People
We the People have a Right to Know according to the Supreme Court of the United States [SCOTUS], past Presidents (of both major political parties), Congress, and the United States Department of Justice. As an expression of that Right to Know, we have coordinated valuable information from a number of resources into a single, public-facing, searchable database.
