HB 1089 removes certain serious crimes from South Dakota's "presumptive probation" laws, which currently require judges to presume that probation is appropriate for many offenders unless the state proves otherwise. By excluding specific crimes from this presumption, the bill gives judges more discretion to impose prison sentences instead of probation for those particular offenses.
