This bill clarifies definitions used in South Dakota's sex offender registry laws, specifying what counts as a "community safety zone" (areas within 500 feet of schools, parks, playgrounds, and pools), what "loiter" means (remaining in an area to observe or contact minors), which types of schools are covered, and how "residence" is defined for registry purposes. These definitions establish the boundaries and terms that sex offenders must follow under state registration requirements.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
