58-42-16. Report of possible disciplinary matters by director to State Bar--Establishment of rules and procedures by legal expense insurer for resolution of complaints. The director shall report to the State Bar of South Dakota for reference to the appropriate disciplinary authorities, any information that the director considers to be of substance of possible instances of overcharging for legal services, incompetence, or violations of the South Dakota Rules of Professional Conduct by lawyers who provide services in connection with a legal expense insurance policy.

Any legal expense insurer may establish institutions, rules, and procedures for the review and resolution of complaints and disputes concerning the quality of cost of legal services provided under its legal expense insurance policies. However, neither the institutions, rules, nor procedures may address the issue of arbitration pursuant to § 21-25A-3.
