21-18-28. Disclosure of liability when state is garnishee. In all cases in which the State of South Dakota is made garnishee defendant, it shall not be necessary for the state to file a formal disclosure, but it shall be a sufficient disclosure for the state auditor to notify the plaintiff or his attorney by registered or certified mail, stating what amount, if any, is due to the principal defendant at the time of the service of summons in garnishment upon him. It shall be the duty of the state auditor to so notify the said plaintiff or his attorney within the time for making a return in garnishment and he shall mail a copy of such notice to the clerk of courts of the county in which said action was pending. No taking of issue shall be permitted on any return or disclosure made by the state auditor as herein provided.
