This bill updates South Dakota's drunk and impaired driving laws to clarify language around alcohol content limits and expand the definition of impairment to explicitly include marijuana and prescription drugs in addition to controlled substances. The changes apply to regular vehicles, commercial vehicles, boats, and aircraft, and adjust the legal standards for determining when a driver is too impaired to operate safely.
