S.D. Codified Laws § 26-6-14.9
Any provider of unregistered family day care may submit his name and the names of any employees or residents at the home, to the Department of Social Services, on forms supplied by the department. The department shall conduct central registry and substantiated abuse or neglect report background checks on all names submitted pursuant to §§ 26-6-14.8 to 26-6-14.11, inclusive. If the department determines that any person whose name has been submitted has been convicted of child abuse pursuant to chapter 26-10 or a sex offense pursuant to chapter 22-22, or has a substantiated report of child abuse or neglect on file with the department, the department shall so notify the provider. If the central registry and substantiated abuse or neglect report background check yields no substantiated reports of child abuse or neglect, as defined by the department by rules promulgated pursuant to chapter 1-26, or no convictions of either the provider or the names submitted by the provider of child abuse pursuant to chapter 26-10 or sex offenses pursuant to chapter 22-22, then the department shall issue a certificate, at no cost to the provider, verifying that fact.
