"

     Section 1. For the purposes of this Act, the term, standard guidelines, means the child visitation guidelines established by court rules promulgated by the South Dakota Supreme Court pursuant to section 2 of this Act.

     Section 2. The South Dakota Supreme Court shall promulgate court rules establishing standard guidelines to be used statewide for child visitation in divorce or separate maintenance actions or any other custody action or proceeding. The standard guidelines shall provide a framework for child visitation including frequency and time for child visitation; hours or days of visitation; definitions for weekends, holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions; and time periods for summer visitations. In establishing the standard guidelines, the court may consider varying ages and circumstances of children and treat varying ages and circumstances differently.

     Section 3. Upon the filing of a summons and complaint for divorce or separate maintenance or any other custody action or proceeding, the plaintiff shall also file and serve upon the defendant a copy of the standard guidelines. Any minor child of the marriage shall remain in the custody of the parent who has been the primary caregiver for the minor child for the majority of time in the thirty days preceding the filing of the summons and complaint, unless the parties agree otherwise. The standard guidelines shall apply and continue in effect, unless the parties agree, or the court orders otherwise. Imposition of the standard guidelines creates no presumption as to who shall be awarded custody at any hearing.

     Section 4. Any agreement by the parties for visitation other than the standard guidelines shall be in writing, signed by both parties and filed with the court.

     Section 5. If either party objects to the initial custody arrangement in section 3 of this Act or the standard guidelines, the court shall order a hearing which shall be held not later than thirty days after the date of the objection. The court shall issue its temporary custody and visitation order after considering the best interests of the child consistent with the provisions of §  25-4-45.

     Section 6. The standard guidelines are subject to any provision established by a South Dakota state court in the following: a temporary or permanent domestic protection order, an order arising out of an abuse or neglect proceeding, a bond condition arising out of a criminal case, and an order in any other proceeding affecting child custody or support.

     Section 7. The court may order either party to pay attorney fees and costs in an action filed under this Act in accordance with §  15-17-38 or any other applicable statute.

     Section 8. The parents are responsible for payment of child support in accordance with §  25-7- 6.1."

Proponents:    Curt Everson, Bureau of Finance and Management (handout 3)

MOTION:     AMEND HB 1294

1294oa
     On page 1, after line 8 of the printed bill, insert:

"      Section 2. That § 5-12-50 be amended to read as follows:

     5-12-50.   The authority may establish by resolution a special purpose corporation which shall be body corporate and politic and instrumentality of, but having a legal existence independent and separate from, the State of South Dakota and the authority. The corporation shall be established for the express limited public purposes set forth in § §  5-12-48 to 5-12-60, inclusive, and no part of the net earnings of the corporation shall inure to any private individual.

     The corporation shall be governed by a board consisting of the members of the authority and two additional persons appointed by the Governor, which two additional members shall be independent from the state. The resolution establishing the corporation shall serve as the charter of the corporation and may be amended from time to time by the authority, but the resolution shall at all times provide that the power and the authority of the corporation shall be subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of § §  5-12-48 to 5-12-60, inclusive, and any applicable covenants or agreements of the corporation in any indenture or other agreement relating to any then outstanding bonds. The corporation may enter into contracts regarding any matter connected with any corporate purpose within the objects and purposes of § §  5-12-48 to 5-12-60, inclusive.

     The authority and corporation may delegate by resolution to one or more officers or employees of the authority or corporation such powers and duties as it may deem proper.

     The corporation may issue bonds and secure repayment of the bonds with amounts payable out of tobacco settlement revenues or any other property or funds of the corporation. Bonds issued by the corporation shall be accompanied by an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel substantially to the effect that interest on the bonds is excludable from the gross income of the bondholder for federal income tax purposes the bonds are valid and legal obligations of the corporation .

     The corporation may pledge as security for any bonds any rights under the master settlement agreement held by the corporation, including the right to receive or collect tobacco settlement revenues, moneys, or other funds deposited with, payable to or held by or on behalf of the corporation, and the proceeds of the foregoing and any proceeds of bonds. Any right of the state to the residual interest in tobacco settlement revenues shall be, in all respects, junior and subordinate to any such pledge if and to the extent so provided by the terms of any instrument or agreement described in §  5-12-49 and signed on behalf of the state by the Governor. Any such pledge made by the corporation shall be valid and binding from the time the pledge is made. The property, revenues, moneys, and other funds so pledged and thereafter held or received by or on behalf of the corporation shall immediately be subject to the lien of the pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act; and, subject only to the provisions of prior pledges or agreements of the corporation, the lien of

the pledge shall be valid and binding as against the state and all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the corporation irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. No ordinance, resolution, trust agreement, or other instrument by which such pledge is created need be filed or recorded except in the records of the corporation.

     In connection with the issuance of bonds or, at any time with respect to bonds, the corporation may enter into arrangements to provide additional security and liquidity for bonds. The arrangements may include, without limitation, bond insurance, letters of credit, and lines of credit by which the corporation may borrow funds to pay or redeem its bonds and purchase or remarketing arrangements for assuring the ability of owners of the bonds to sell or have redeemed their bonds. The corporation may enter into contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing the arrangements, including from bond proceeds.

     The resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds or the indenture or other agreement approved by the resolution may provide that interest rates may vary from time to time depending upon criteria established by the corporation, which may include, without limitation, a variation in interest rates as may be necessary to cause bonds to be remarketable from time to time at a price equal to their principal amount, and may provide for appointment of a national banking association, bank, trust company, investment banking firm, or other financial institution to serve as a remarketing agent in that connection. The indenture or other agreement with respect to bonds may provide that alternative interest rates or provisions will apply during such times as bonds are held by a person providing a letter of credit or other credit enhancement arrangement for bonds.

     In connection with bonds under § §  5-12-48 to 5-12-60, inclusive, or the investment of proceeds, bonds, or other funds of the corporation, the corporation may enter into contracts that it determines necessary or appropriate to permit it to manage payment or interest rate risk. These contracts may include, but are not limited to, interest rate exchange agreements; contracts providing for payment or receipt of funds based on levels of or changes in interest rates; contracts to exchange cash flows or series of payments; and contracts incorporating interest rate caps, collars, floors, or locks.

     The corporation may not file a voluntary petition under or be or become a debtor or bankrupt under the federal bankruptcy code or any other federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or moratorium law or statute as may, from time to time, be in effect and neither any public officer nor any organization, entity, or other person shall authorize the corporation to be or become a debtor or bankrupt under the federal bankruptcy code or any other federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or moratorium law or statute, as may, from time to time be in effect.

     The corporation may not guarantee the debts of another.

     The corporation may not be required to file any reports with the state other than those required to be filed with the Legislature by authorities which issue bonds.

     Except for debts incurred directly by the corporation, no indebtedness, bonds, or obligation, issued, incurred, or created by the State of South Dakota or any state agency or instrumentality may be or become a lien, charge, or liability against the corporation or the property or funds of the corporation.

     Section 3. Whereas, this Act is necessary for the support of the state government and its existing public institutions, an emergency is hereby declared to exist, and this Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and approval."
