Section 58-6A-20 - Director's use of enforcement powers--Injunctive authority. - South Dakota Statutes

58-6A-20. Director's use of enforcement powers--Injunctive authority. The director may use any of the enforcement powers available under the laws of this state so long as those powers are not specifically preempted by the Product Liability Risk Retention Act of 1981, as amended by the risk retention amendments of 1986. This includes, but is not limited to, the director's administrative authority to investigate, issue subpoenas, conduct depositions and hearings, issue orders, and impose penalties. With regard to any investigation, administrative proceedings or litigation, the director may rely on the procedural law and regulations of this state. The injunctive authority of the director in regard to risk retention groups is restricted by the requirement that any injunction be issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
