HB 1087 modifies the legal definitions of children who fall under South Dakota's juvenile justice system by updating what qualifies as a "child in need of supervision" and a "delinquent child" in state law. The bill makes changes to chapters 36-32 and 11-15 of South Dakota Codified Laws, which govern juvenile court proceedings and child welfare matters. These definitional changes will affect how courts determine which young people require state intervention or supervision.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
