Bill Summary
An Act to prohibit a person from refusing to identify oneself in certain circumstances and to provide a penalty therefor.
AI Summary
This bill amends an existing South Dakota law (35-9-2.1) that allows merchants or their employees to detain individuals under twenty-one who are suspected of illegally purchasing, attempting to purchase, or possessing alcohol, or who have misrepresented their age to buy alcohol. The key change is that a person detained under these circumstances can no longer refuse to provide identification to the merchant, the merchant's employee, or any law enforcement officer, and violating this new requirement is considered a Class 2 misdemeanor, which is a minor criminal offense.
