Clarifies the procedure for examining or surveying private property without owner permission.

South Dakota SB88 outlines the process for a potential condemnor to examine or survey private property without the owner's permission. It requires a one-time payment of $500 to the owner before entry, and provides for a copy of the survey results upon request. The owner can challenge the survey in circuit court within 30 days of notice. The bill specifies that the survey must be minimally invasive, with no more than minor soil disturbances.
