This bill updates South Dakota's Department of Social Services laws by moving the Human Services Center in Yankton under the Mental Health Division's authority and modernizing the language in fraud penalties to refer to current "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program" (SNAP) benefits instead of the outdated term "food stamps." The changes reflect organizational restructuring and bring the law's terminology in line with current federal program names.
