Statutory text current through the text effective June 30, 2026 (through the 2025 Regular Session). This publication reproduces the official statutory text; it is not the official statutes of the State of South Dakota.
For purposes of establishing probable cause that a criminal offense has been committed in violation of § 22-30A-24 or 22-30A-25, probable cause is established if the prosecution has presented as evidence at the preliminary hearing, or before the grand jury, a check bearing reasonable indicia that the check has been presented for payment and that the check has not been paid or honored by the financial institution because of insufficient funds in the account upon which the check was drawn or that the account did not exist. Upon the offer and acceptance of the check as evidence at the preliminary hearing, or before the grand jury, it is not necessary for an official or employee of the financial institution to testify at the preliminary hearing, or before the grand jury, concerning the financial institution's records with respect to the account upon which the check has been drawn.
