HB1061 repeals state laws that currently set out specific rules for how criminal jury trials must be conducted in South Dakota. Once the state Supreme Court adopts new rules to replace these provisions, the old legal requirements will no longer apply, allowing the courts to follow the Supreme Court's updated procedures instead.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
