South Dakota will now count out-of-state drunk driving convictions from the past 25 years (instead of just 10 years) when determining whether a driver's current DUI charge is a repeat offense, but only if certain requirements under state law are met. This means drivers with older out-of-state DUI convictions could face harsher penalties for a new South Dakota DUI charge.
