S_SD PASS-04 — Bounded corrections to P03
Fresh public-source check: October 27, 2026, in both America/Los_Angeles (PDT, UTC−07:00) and UTC. The contemporaneous clock check was 14:35:50 PDT / 21:35:50 UTC.
Disposition: The two agency qualifications are corrected, and the federal indebtedness-transfer restriction receives its own atomic claim and crosswalk. The affected text below supersedes only the identified P03 passages. All five qualitative examples remain, subject only to the agency cross-reference insertions specified for E02 and E04.
1. Fresh source table and affected source annotations
Each source was freshly accessed for this response. Prior P03 reading and the coordinator’s supplied observations are not represented as fresh access to coordinator files or packets.

South Dakota Legislature, Chapter 59-2—Creation of Agency. https://sdlegislature.gov/api/Statutes/59-2.html?all=true |
Selected operative bodies §§59-2-2, 59-2-3, 59-2-4, including their displayed histories. Live official codified text; no express consolidated through-date shown in these bodies. The complete session-law/effectivity chain remains unverified. HTML: printed page/PDF index not applicable. |
October 27, 2026 PDT / October 27, 2026 UTC. Fresh selected-body read by this response. Adds the corrective annotation to P03-S008 for the form-of-authority rule and its surrounding ratification conditions. It does not replace that source group’s other previously read provisions. South Dakota Legislature |
| S_SD-P4-S002 |
South Dakota Legislature, Chapter 59-3—Powers of Agent. https://sdlegislature.gov/api/Statutes/59-3.html?all=true |
Selected operative bodies §59-3-15, opening condition and subdivisions (1)–(4), and §59-3-16. Live official codified text; complete amendment/effectivity chain not reconstructed. HTML: printed page/PDF index not applicable. |
October 27, 2026 PDT / October 27, 2026 UTC. Fresh selected-body read by this response. Adds the corrective annotation to P03-S008 for delegation and the separate lawful-subagent consequence. No fresh approval of actual authority, appointment, or provider switching. South Dakota Legislature |
| S_SD-P4-S003 |
Federal Trade Commission regulation, displayed by OFR/GPO in eCFR: 16 C.F.R. Part 429—Rule Concerning Cooling-off Period for Sales Made at Homes or at Certain Other Locations. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-16/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-429 |
Freshly read §429.0(a)–(f) for the necessary coverage predicates, §429.1’s introductory clause and paragraph (h), and §§429.2–429.3 as limiting context. Other §429.1 duties were not re-audited. Display: through October 23, 2026; Title 16 last amended October 19, 2026. Authoritative but unofficial eCFR. HTML: printed page/PDF index not applicable. |
October 27, 2026 PDT / October 27, 2026 UTC. Fresh selected-body read by this response. Adds the paragraph-(h) claim linkage to P03-S015. The title-wide amendment date is not treated as an amendment date for paragraph (h), and the display is not a later-period currency certificate. eCFR+1 |
Source-status result: The selected live passages support the supplied corrections. No material conflict with the coordinator’s quoted corrective wording was found. No requested operative clause remained unread because of a P04 access failure.
2. Atomic corrective claims and exact replacement passages
The replacement text column supplies the actual corrected prose. Cross-references below use these full claim identifiers; they do not create additional unstated rules.
| New claim ID |
Exact replacement text |
Source/pinpoint |
Affected original; predicates and effect |
| S_SD-P4-C001 |
Under §59-2-3, oral authorization generally suffices. When law requires the contract to be entered into to be written, authority to enter it must itself be conferred by a written instrument—except where the contract is a negotiable instrument. |
S_SD-P4-S001, §59-2-3. South Dakota Legislature |
Replaces P03-C022’s second sentence. Restores the express exception and preserves the distinction between the contract’s writing requirement and the form of the agent’s authority. No debt, settlement, or document is classified as a negotiable instrument here. |
| S_SD-P4-C002 |
Agency may arise through prior authorization or subsequent ratification. Ratification requires the manner originally necessary to confer authority; where oral authority would suffice, accepting or retaining the act’s benefit with notice may ratify it. At ratification, the principal must have power to confer the authority. |
S_SD-P4-S001, §§59-2-2 and 59-2-4. South Dakota Legislature |
Preserves and qualifies P03-C022’s surrounding creation/ratification treatment. This is not a finding of actual authorization, notice, benefit acceptance, capacity, or ratification. It does not displace the other retained ratification limitations. |
| S_SD-P4-C003 |
Unless the principal specially forbids delegation, §59-3-15 permits it only in four circumstances: (1) the act is purely mechanical; (2) the agent cannot personally lawfully perform the act, but the subagent can lawfully perform it; (3) delegation accords with the usage of the place; or (4) the principal specially authorizes delegation. The second branch is not a general substitute-competence test. |
S_SD-P4-S002, §59-3-15, opening condition and subdivisions (1)–(4). South Dakota Legislature |
Replaces the delegation summary in P03-C049. Restores both the principal-prohibition qualification and the exact second-branch distinction. No actual delegation or assignment is approved. |
| S_SD-P4-C004 |
Separately, §59-3-16 provides that a lawfully appointed subagent represents the principal as the original agent does, and that the original agent is not responsible to third persons for the subagent’s acts. Lawful appointment is a prerequisite, not a fact established by this correction. |
S_SD-P4-S002, §59-3-16. South Dakota Legislature |
Supplies a distinct sentence following the corrected P03-C049 discussion. It does not serve as permission to appoint a subagent or decide any broader liability, fiduciary-duty, or actual-consent question. |
| S_SD-P4-C005 |
For a nonexempt door-to-door sale within Part 429—meeting its consumer-goods/services, personal-solicitation, off-premises agreement, applicable price, and exclusion predicates—§429.1(h) prohibits the seller from negotiating, transferring, selling, or assigning any note or other evidence of indebtedness to a finance company or another third party before midnight of the fifth business day following the day the contract was signed or the goods or services were purchased. This is not a universal provider-switching prohibition. |
S_SD-P4-S003, §429.0; §429.1 introductory clause and (h); §429.3. eCFR+1 |
New, distinct atomic claim for P03’s coverage row “4. Limited federal assignment restriction.” The covered-sale predicate is essential. No actual instrument, transaction, transfer, recipient, or calendar is classified. |
Placement instructions for the principal corrections
In A.2/P03-C022, retain the agency-creation proposition using C002 and replace the overbroad writing sentence with C001. Preserve the existing warning that the actual grant, scope, conduct, and ratification facts are unknown.
In A.4/P03-C049, replace the abbreviated delegation summary with C003; follow it with the separate C004 sentence. Keep P03-C050’s agency-termination/POA hold unchanged.
Add C005 as a separate proposition adjacent to the switching/assignment discussion, rather than attaching it to C049 or another unrelated agency claim.
3. Exact affected downstream replacements
These are limited insertions or cell replacements, not regenerated examples or a new agreement audit.
| P03 location |
Replacement or insertion text |
Corrective linkage |
| A.6 worksheet — “Negotiation versus settlement authority” |
Authority: Retain the existing applicable authorities and add S_SD-P4-C001–C004. Generic evidence: Identify the authority grant, its scope and form, the contract’s writing predicate, any applicable instrument exception, and any delegation restrictions. Do not assume actual acceptance or payment authority. |
C001–C004; retain P03-C023–C024 and their independent conditions. |
| A.6 worksheet — “Switching, delegation, and termination” |
Classification: Partly unresolved. Authority: Apply S_SD-P4-C003 before relying on S_SD-P4-C004. Generic evidence: Identify the principal’s restrictions and the applicable statutory branch. Retain the separate assignment, agency-termination, and POA holds; no actual switching authority is established. |
C003–C004; P03-C050 remains unchanged. |
| A.6 worksheet — add a distinct conditional row, “Off-premises indebtedness-evidence disposition” |
Classification: Conditional federal restriction, not a general switching rule. Authority: S_SD-P4-C005. Generic evidence: Establish covered-sale classification, document type, proposed disposition, recipient category, and triggering events. No actual record or calendar was examined. |
C005; P03-S015 → P4-S003. |
| E02 — agency-analysis paragraph only |
The document’s agency significance remains subject to S_SD-P4-C001–C004. The rejection hypothesis does not supply missing authorization, delegation, or execution facts. |
Add after the existing scope/acceptance-authority discussion. Keep the hypothetical, rejection outcome, payment conditions, and remaining analysis unchanged. |
| E04 — agency inquiry only |
Apply S_SD-P4-C001–C004 within the separate agency inquiry. The electronic-signature hypothesis is not a finding that those agency predicates are satisfied. |
Add to the existing package-analysis paragraph. Do not replace the separate electronic-delivery, signature-attribution, organizational-status, or payment inquiries. |
| Coverage — “2. Negotiation versus binding settlement” |
Answered framework; application unresolved. Claims: S_SD-P4-C001–C004, together with retained P03-C023–C024. Missing facts: authority grant, relevant document classification, principal restrictions, delegation facts, and execution. No actual authority determination or record acquisition is authorized. |
Corrects the affected coverage row without changing the retained settlement/execution conditions. |
| Coverage — “4. Switching/delegation/assignment” |
Partial. Claims: S_SD-P4-C003–C004 and retained P03-C050. Delegation text is corrected; actual appointment, assignment, termination, and POA predicates remain unresolved. Any future textual inquiry must remain limited to authorized published generic authorities. |
Does not cure the existing Chapter 59-7 access hold. |
| Coverage — “4. Limited federal assignment restriction” |
Answered conditionally at the displayed source version. Claim: S_SD-P4-C005. Source: S_SD-P4-S003, §429.1 introductory clause and (h), with Part 429 coverage predicates. Actual coverage, document, disposition, recipient, and timing facts remain unknown. No provider-switching rule or actual deadline is inferred. |
Replaces the former source-only cross-reference with the distinct atomic claim. |
The worksheet insertions describe evidence categories only. They do not authorize querying or obtaining actual provider, consumer, instrument, account, or transaction records.

| Group 1(a): oral authorization, writing predicate, negotiable-instrument exception |
Answered textual correction |
C001; A.2/C022; negotiation worksheet and coverage row |
Actual contract classification and the source of any writing requirement are unknown. No further generic source is needed for this wording repair; retain the factual hold without searching instruments or records. |
| Group 1(a): surrounding ratification conditions |
Answered as retained conditional context |
C002; A.2/C022 |
No actual notice, benefit acceptance, original-authority form, or power-to-ratify facts supplied. Preserve those predicates and the other existing limitations; no actual ratification finding. |
| Group 1(b): prohibition by principal and four delegation branches |
Answered textual correction |
C003; A.4/C049; switching worksheet and coverage row |
No principal instructions, qualifying act, local usage, or special delegation authorization supplied. No substitute-competence inference. Further interpretation, if separately required, would concern published generic authority only. |
| Group 1(b): separate lawful-subagent consequence |
Answered conditionally |
C004; separate sentence following C049 |
Lawful appointment is unproved. Broader responsibility and remedies questions are excluded; no additional liability investigation undertaken. |
| Group 1: propagation into E02/E04 and related worksheet/coverage cells |
Answered editorial correction |
Section 3 replacements |
The examples retain their assumed facts and missing predicates. They are not actual-consent findings. E01, E03, and E05 require no correction from these issues. |
| Group 2: federal restricted act, object, recipient, and endpoint |
Answered at displayed version |
C005; A.4 insertion and conditional worksheet row |
Actual Part 429 coverage and transaction facts remain unknown. The display’s later-period currency limit is preserved. No new calendar, instrument classification, or provider-switching conclusion. |
| Group 2: missing atomic claim and source/coverage crosswalk |
Answered |
C005 → S003 → P03’s limited federal assignment row |
The missing claim linkage is supplied. No unrelated claim ID is reused; no further source retrieval is required to repair that crosswalk. |
| Underlying agency termination, POA, actual assent, and all broader P03 holds |
Unresolved / excluded from this correction |
P03-C050 and the retained gap register |
No old failed route was retried. Only a separately authorized, bounded published-authority inquiry could address the missing text; this correction supplies no record-search authorization. |

6. Read-status and remaining holds
Fresh reading: Three public primary-source documents supplied the selected operative clauses. No source snippet substituted for those bodies. No materially different live wording required a correction beyond the assigned groups.
Prior and supplied material: P03’s earlier reads remain historical reads. The coordinator’s review, packet, and hash observations are supplied background—not checks performed in this response. This is a researcher correction self-check, not independent review.
Not reopened: No agency-termination failure route, recording inquiry, CROA/E-SIGN currency route, professional-rule chain, provider record, or unrelated source was revisited. No local coordinator file, import, or hash operation occurred.
Unchanged holds: Provider-specific form/final-rule inventory; §37-30A-10 service/refund interpretation; agency termination and POA; interstate recording; professional-insurance exceptions and adoption chain; CROA/E-SIGN currentness after October 7; the full state session-law chain; actual contract, assent, authority, classification, funds, earnings, payment, and account facts; custody, processors, transmission, trust, bond/security priority; and every other South Dakota, state, local, tribal, country, and parent-dossier dimension.
No actual fee, refund, agreement, notice, debit, settlement, or provider operation is approved. No state, component, A066, operational, or publication acceptance follows.
