Bill > HB1062

This bill amends a South Dakota law concerning aggravated assault, which is a serious crime involving causing or attempting to cause significant harm to another person. The existing law defines aggravated assault in several ways, including causing serious bodily injury with extreme indifference to human life, using a dangerous weapon to cause or attempt to cause bodily injury, assaulting someone with intent to cause serious bodily injury, threatening someone with a deadly weapon to make them fear imminent serious bodily harm, or attempting to induce fear of death or serious bodily harm by restricting breathing or blood circulation. The bill proposes to revise this provision, though the specific changes are not detailed in the provided XML, it aims to update the legal definition or penalties associated with aggravated assault.
