HB 1074 changes South Dakota law to classify vehicular homicide as a crime of violence. This means people convicted of killing someone while driving will face the same sentencing enhancements and legal consequences as those convicted of other violent crimes. The reclassification may also affect parole eligibility and other criminal penalties tied to violent offenses.
