revise the applicability of the statute of repose for construction deficiencies.
HB 1091 modifies the statute of repose for construction deficiencies in South Dakota, which is a time limit after which a property owner cannot sue for construction defects. The bill directly affects construction companies, contractors, and property owners by changing when legal claims for building defects can be filed. It adjusts the timeline for when these claims become barred, ensuring that the period during which lawsuits can be brought is clearly defined and updated. This change aims to provide greater clarity on the legal protections available to construction professionals and the rights of property owners to seek repairs for structural issues.
