S.D. Codified Laws § 13-42-17.1
The final decision of the secretary regarding a certificate, along with the findings of fact and conclusions of law, is a public record. If the certificate holder requests a private hearing pursuant to § 13-42-14, the written record and evidence from the hearing, including the findings of fact and conclusions of law, are confidential unless adopted by the secretary as part of the final decision. However, if disciplinary action is imposed by the secretary or a commission pursuant to chapter 13-42 or 13-43, the written record and evidence from the hearing may be disclosed to authorities within this state, another state, the District of Columbia, or a territory or country in which the applicant or certificate holder holds a certificate or has applied for a certificate.
