Bill Summary
An Act to revise a provision related to the transportation of an inmate upon discharge from a correctional facility.
AI Summary
This bill amends a South Dakota law to clarify the transportation requirements for inmates being released from a correctional facility. Previously, the law stated that a correctional facility official "shall" provide an inmate with clothing, money, and transportation to their place of discharge. This bill changes "shall" to "must" and specifies that upon an inmate's discharge, whether through parole, a suspended sentence, or final release, a correctional facility official must provide the inmate with suitable clothing, a sum of money determined by the secretary of corrections, and transportation to one of three locations chosen by the inmate: the county where they resided at the time of the offense, the county where they received their sentence, or a location that is the shorter distance of the two previous options.
