BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
Section 1. That chapter 25-4 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:
In determining what is in the best interest of any particular child, the court shall consider
whether the person whose conduct is under review has ever attempted to influence a child
custody hearing by, falsely or without good cause, reporting pursuant to chapter 26-8A that
some other person has committed sexual abuse, physical abuse, or abuse and neglect against the
child or a sibling of the child. Nothing in this Act effects the confidentiality of records and files
relating to reports of child abuse or neglect maintained by the Department of Social Services
pursuant to chapter 26-8A.
