This bill expands the list of crimes that are excluded from South Dakota's presumptive probation rules, meaning judges must now give probation to fewer offenders convicted of Class 5 and 6 felonies. It adds several new felony categories—including certain drug, theft, and sexual abuse offenses—to the exceptions where judges can skip probation and impose prison time instead.
