S.D. Codified Laws § 8-2-12
Current through the 2024 Legislative Session
Whenever any action is brought to recover a penalty imposed for any trespass committed on the lands belonging to the township, if it appears on the trial thereof that the actual amount of injury to such lands in consequence of such trespass exceeds the sum of twelve dollars and fifty cents, the amount of actual damage with costs of suit shall be recovered in such action instead of any penalty for such trespass imposed by the township meeting, and such recovery shall be a bar to every other action for the same trespass.
