SB 176 allows law enforcement to seize and hold real property (land and buildings) as evidence in criminal cases, establishing a legal process for this type of seizure under South Dakota law. This expands the types of evidence that can be taken and held during investigations beyond personal property that was previously covered.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
