- (1) A current or retired state or federal court judge or justice; and
- (2) A law enforcement officer, as defined in § 22-1-2. The Unified Judicial System shall coordinate with the United States Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States District Court for the District of South Dakota to provide the secretary of state with a list of individuals whose personally identifiable information is not open to public inspection, pursuant to subdivision (1). The director of the Division of Criminal Investigation shall provide the secretary of state with a list of the law enforcement officers for purposes of subdivision (2).
