This resolution directs the South Dakota Legislature to conduct an interim study examining how local county jails operate and where they might better coordinate with the state's correctional system. The study will look for opportunities to improve collaboration between local and state prison operations, likely to reduce duplication or improve efficiency. This is a study request, not a change to existing law—it doesn't alter any current rules but rather directs lawmakers to investigate the issue during the legislative off-season.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
