     On the House Health and Human Services Committee engrossed bill, delete everything after the enacting clause and insert:

    "Section 1. That chapter 25-5 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:

     Except for proceedings under chapter 26-7A, 26-8A, 26-8B, or 26-8C, the court may allow any person other than the parent of a child to intervene or petition a court of competent jurisdiction for custody or visitation of any child with whom he or she has served as a primary caretaker, has closely bonded as a parental figure, or has otherwise formed a significant and substantial relationship. It is presumed to be in the best interest of a child to be in the care, custody, and control of the child's parent, and the parent shall be afforded the constitutional protections as determined by the United States Supreme Court and the South Dakota Supreme Court. A parent's presumptive right to custody of his or her child may be rebutted by proof:

             (1)    That the parent has abandoned or persistently neglected the child;

             (2)    That the parent has forfeited or surrendered his or her parental rights over the child to any person other than the parent;

             (3)    That the parent has abdicated his or her parental rights and responsibilities; or

             (4)    That other extraordinary circumstances exist which, if custody is awarded to the parent, would result in serious detriment to the child.

     Section 2. That chapter 25-5 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:

     Serious detriment to a child may exist whenever there is proof of one or more of the following extraordinary circumstances:

             (1)    The likelihood of serious physical or emotional harm to the child if placed in the parent's custody;

             (2)    The extended, unjustifiable absence of parental custody;

             (3)    The provision of the child's physical, emotional, and other needs by persons other than the parent over a significant period of time;

             (4)    The existence of a bonded relationship between the child and the person other than the parent sufficient to cause significant emotional harm to the child in the event of a change in custody;

             (5)    The substantial enhancement of the child's well-being while under the care of a person other than the parent;

             (6)    The extent of the parent's delay in seeking to reacquire custody of the child;

             (7)    The demonstrated quality of the parent's commitment to raising the child;

             (8)    The likely degree of stability and security in the child's future with the parent;

             (9)    The extent to which the child's right to an education would be impaired while in the custody of the parent; or

             (10)    Any other extraordinary circumstance that would substantially and adversely impact the welfare of the child.

     Section 3. That chapter 25-5 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:

     Nothing in section 1 of this Act creates any right on behalf of a stepparent to seek custody or visitation with a stepchild who has lived with that stepparent merely because the stepparent was married to or living with the child's parent.

     Section 4. That chapter 25-5 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:

     If a court determines that a person other than a parent should be awarded custody or visitation, the court need not terminate either parent's parental rights over the child. A judgment awarding to a person other than a parent custodial rights may award the parent visitation rights with the child.

     Section 5. That chapter 25-5 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:

     If a court awards a person other than a parent custodial rights to a child, the court may set child support in whatever amount it deems appropriate, and notwithstanding the provisions of any other statute to the contrary, may waive the parent's duty to provide monetary or other support for his or her child.

     Section 6. That chapter 25-5 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:

     It is the express legislative intent that this Act apply to all pending matters involving disputed custody of a child between a parent and a person other than a parent meeting the standing provisions of section 1 of this Act, and all subsequent custody disputes involving a person other than a parent.

     Section 7. Whereas, this Act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, an emergency is hereby declared to exist, and this Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and approval."

A petition pursuant to this chapter seeking custody by a person other than the parent shall be dismissed if an action concerning the child is filed pursuant to chapter 26-7A, 26-8A, 26-8B, or 26-8C.

     Section 2. That chapter 29A-5 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:

     It is the express legislative intent that this Act, together with chapter 25-5 dealing with custody disputes between a parent and a person other than the parent, apply to all pending and subsequent guardianship matters involving a custody dispute between a parent and a person other than the parent.

COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS


February 21, 2002

The Honorable Carole Hillard
President of the Senate
State Capitol
Pierre, SD 57501-5070

Dear Madam President and Members of the Senate:

Senate Bill 29 is entitled "An Act to revise certain fees for special inspections and examination of certain weighing and measuring devices and certain standards and testing equipment."

The second section of the bill refers to an annual examination and certification by the Department of Commerce and Regulation. The addition of the last sentence to this section refers to the Department charging a fee for an "inspection". There is no other reference to an "inspection" in this section. The amendment should refer to the "examination and certification" referred to in the first sentence of section 2. Therefore, I make the following recommendation of style and form:

    On page 2 of the Senate Commerce Committee engrossed version of the bill, line 13, replace the word "inspection" with "examination and certification".

I respectfully request you concur with my recommendation as to style and form.

Respectfully submitted,
William J. Janklow

February 22, 2002

     I have the honor to inform you that I have approved SB 41 and 118, and the same have been deposited in the office of the Secretary of State.
