This bill expands South Dakota's Division of Criminal Investigation to assist all Indian tribes with background checks, not just the Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux Tribe. The change allows any tribe to request criminal history information on people seeking positions like tribal council members, judges, educators, gaming licensees, and foster parents. The bill also updates the language to clarify which positions and individuals can receive these background screenings.
