sd_statute

Pack: south-dakota-code · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/sd_statute for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Get the FULL TEXT of a section of the South Dakota Codified Laws — South Dakota state law — by citation. “22-16-4” is murder in the first degree; “43-32-13” covers a landlord’s notice of lease modification. Accepts natural forms: “22-16-4”, “SDCL 22-16-4”, ”§ 22-16-4”. Returns the current statutory text, the official catchline, and — when present — the “Source:” line listing every session law that enacted or amended the section (split out into history). South Dakota publishes the CURRENT text only, no per-year historical archive, so a prior (pre-amendment) version of the text is not available; this tool says so rather than guessing. Keyless. Use for “what does SDCL 22-16-4 say” or to check a South Dakota statute a case or lease relies on.
