HB1216 revises South Dakota's sexual harassment laws by updating definitions and provisions in the state's anti-discrimination statute. The bill modifies how the state defines key terms related to discrimination complaints, including "disability" and other concepts used in employment, housing, and education discrimination cases. This change clarifies what types of claims fall under state human rights protections.
