SB46 creates a new crime called "petition circulation perjury" with enhanced penalties for people who falsely swear that they personally circulated petition signatures for ballot measures. Someone who lies about personally circulating the petition faces the new crime of petition circulation perjury (with an unspecified penalty in the excerpt), while lying about other requirements like being a South Dakota resident or that signers are qualified voters remains a Class 1 misdemeanor.
