PIERRE, (KCCR) — One idea not moving forward from the Study Committee on County Funding and Services is the re-evaluation of appropriations for Senate Bill 70. SB-70 was a bill passed by the South Dakota legislature in 2013 also known as the Criminal Justice Initiative. Representative Kirk Chaffee says 70 and the Juvenile Justice Senate Bill 71 need a deeper dive than the Committee can give it…
Senator Randy Diebert agrees with Chaffee…
Representative Tim Reisch says South Dakota did save money because of 70…
The Committee voted 13 to one to not advance the reexamination of Senate 70 for consideration of possible 2024 legislation.
