SB 175 adds domestic abuse shelters to the legal definition of "community safety zones" in South Dakota law. This means domestic abuse shelters will now receive the same legal protections and restrictions that apply to other community safety zones, such as schools and public parks. The change aims to better protect people seeking safety at these shelters from certain illegal activities in their vicinity.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
