SD HB1108

Requires court clerks to immediately seal petitions and supporting documents for protection orders (under chapters 22-19A and 25-10) that are dismissed without a hearing

Mandates courts seal cases when protection order petitions are denied after a hearing, if the court finds the petition had no basis in fact or law and was harassing, frivolous, or abusive

Requires courts to notify law enforcement of sealing orders, and law enforcement must then make any records of the petition nonpublic

Applies retroactively to all electronically maintained court records for petitions dismissed without a hearing

Covers both stalking/harassment protection orders (chapter 22-19A) and domestic abuse protection orders (chapter 25-10)
