HB 1170 adds certain driving under the influence (DUI) violations to South Dakota's list of crimes that are treated as "violent crimes" for purposes of setting parole eligibility dates. This means inmates convicted of these DUI offenses will face longer initial parole dates compared to other crimes, effectively requiring them to serve more time before becoming eligible for parole.
