South Dakota is revising its program that gives counties money to encourage them to use juvenile diversion (keeping young offenders out of the court system) instead of prosecution. The bill changes the payment structure so counties receive $750 per child who successfully completes a diversion program, and it requires counties to submit detailed annual reports on how many youth they refer to diversion and whether those youth complete the programs.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
