This bill increases penalties for driving without a valid license in South Dakota. A first offense remains a Class 2 misdemeanor, but a second or subsequent offense becomes a Class 1 misdemeanor (a more serious charge with steeper penalties). The change makes repeat violations subject to harsher criminal consequences.
