South Dakota will give a $2 million grant to a nonprofit organization in Sioux Falls that runs youth diversion programs aimed at keeping kids out of the criminal justice system. The nonprofit must use the money to run an annual week-long summer camp for sixth graders identified by school police, along with three follow-up family events each year, with participation from local law enforcement—and this program must continue for ten years starting in 2026. The nonprofit must report annually on how well the program is working to prevent youth crime.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
