South Dakota·Title 23A CRIMINAL PROCEDURE·Ch. 23A-28A CRIME VICTIMS' COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Any hearing held on an application is open to the public. The record of such hearing is a public record, unless the commission determines that a closed hearing is necessary because:

(1)The alleged offender has not been brought to trial and a public hearing would adversely affect the alleged offender's apprehension or trial;
(2)The victim or alleged offender is a minor;
(3)A public hearing would cause trauma for the victim; or (4) A public hearing would frustrate rather than further the interests of justice.
