HB1155 adds new definitions to South Dakota's unfair and discriminatory practices law, specifically defining what counts as "anti-black sentiment," "anti-immigrant sentiment," and "anti-Indian sentiment" so investigators have clear guidance when reviewing discrimination complaints. The bill reorganizes existing definitions in the law and renumbers them to make room for these new categories that will be considered when the State Commission of Human Rights investigates potential violations.
