SB6 revises South Dakota's laws on drug-related deaths by amending how the state prosecutes cases where someone dies from using heroin, cocaine, or other Schedule I or II controlled substances that another person distributed. The bill repeals several outdated provisions and reorganizes the relevant statutes to clarify the legal standards and penalties for this serious crime.
