Senate Bill 190 revises South Dakota's discrimination and unfair practices law by updating the definition of "disability" to clarify how it applies in employment, housing, and education contexts. The bill repeals an existing statute (§7-8-16) and modifies Chapter 20-13 to specify that disabilities only count as discriminatory factors if they're actually unrelated to a person's ability to perform their job, maintain property, or benefit from education. These changes aim to make the state's anti-discrimination protections clearer and more specific to different situations.
