HB1148 clarifies the process for filing protection orders in South Dakota by requiring that petitions must be accompanied by a sworn affidavit with specific facts supporting the claim, and optionally by a police report. The bill reorganizes the existing law to make it clearer that protection orders can be filed against people accused of stalking, assault causing physical injury, or crimes of violence, and can be pursued independently of any other pending legal cases.
