HB 1068 allows courts to consider stalking convictions from other states when deciding whether to impose enhanced (more serious) penalties for stalking crimes committed in South Dakota. Previously, only in-state convictions counted toward triggering these tougher punishments, so someone with a prior stalking conviction from another state would not have that record count against them in South Dakota court.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
