PIERRE (AP) - South Dakota Insurance Director Merle Scheiber is resigning at the end of the month.
State Labor and Regulation Secretary Marcia Hultman announced Scheiber's resignation Thursday. Hultman says Scheiber is leaving for "personal reasons" and says she can't elaborate further.
Scheiber has served in this role since 2005. He will step down on Dec. 29. Larry Deiter has been named interim director. Deiter is currently the division's assistant director of property and casualty insurance.
Hultman says a permanent replacement will likely have to wait until after the 2015 legislative session, which ends in March.
