Sex offenders in South Dakota are now prohibited from living within 500 feet of private parks, playgrounds, and pools in addition to the existing restrictions on public schools and public parks. The bill expands the definition of "community safety zone" where registered sex offenders cannot establish residency, though exceptions still apply for those in prison, on parole with approved housing, or with written permission from local law enforcement.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
