HB1097 adds a new category to South Dakota's definition of an abused or neglected child to include children exposed to drugs or alcohol before birth. This expands the state's child protection laws to address prenatal substance exposure as a form of child neglect that authorities can investigate and act upon.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
