ensure uniformity in member identification provisions governing the South Dakota Retirement System.

Summary

The bill changes the retirement system’s rules so that members must provide a current driver’s license or other government‑issued photo ID when withdrawing contributions or applying for benefits. Married members normally need their spouse’s signature and ID, but the bill adds an exemption when the spouse cannot be located or special circumstances prevent obtaining the signature, requiring the member to choose a reduced survivor benefit and certify the reason under penalty of perjury. This creates uniform identification requirements across the system.
