Sex offenders convicted in other states can now petition South Dakota courts to remove themselves from South Dakota's sex offender registry if they've already been removed from the registry in their home state. Previously, South Dakota law didn't allow this type of removal based on another state's decision. The bill requires the person seeking removal to provide a certified copy of the court order removing them from their original state's registry.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
