South Dakota law currently allows judges to suspend sentences for first-time felons if the judge believes it serves justice, but this bill eliminates that option for people convicted of rape. Anyone convicted of or pleading guilty to rape will now serve their full sentence and cannot have it suspended, even as a first offense.
