New notice and cost rules for subpoenas

In South Dakota contested agency cases, document subpoena issuers must notify every party and provide a copy before serving the recipient. Requests to cancel or change a subpoena must be made promptly, no later than its compliance deadline.

The examiner or judge can also make denial of the request depend on the issuer advancing reasonable document-production costs.
