SD Codified L § 58-18-7.17 (through 2011) What's This?
58-18-7.17. Exclusion of benefits for injury while under the influence of alcohol or drugs prohibited--Exception for sickness or injury caused in commission of felony. A group health insurance policy or certificate that is delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in this state may not exclude the payment of benefits for injuries sustained by an insured person because the insured was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as defined by § 32-23-1.
Nothing in this section precludes a health insurer from excluding coverage for an insured for any sickness or injury caused in the commission of a felony.
