This resolution asks South Dakota's Legislative Research Council to create a special committee that will study how county boards of mental illness operate, including their authority over involuntary commitments and their role in reporting information to the national background check system. The study will also examine whether current state laws governing voluntary and involuntary commitments are working effectively and how they could better work with background check procedures. This is not a law change itself, but a request to investigate these issues for potential future legislation.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
