Summary
The bill changes South Dakota’s excavation law so that anyone planning to dig must notify the one‑call notification center at least 48 hours before work, not counting weekends or holidays. It also requires utility operators to mark underground lines within 18 inches of the pipe and gives excavators a minimum clearance, with special procedures for work closer than that. The changes aim to improve safety and reduce damage to buried infrastructure.
