HB1068Enacted
include out-of-state convictions for the basis of an enhanced penalty for the crime of stalking.
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.
