The Honorable Carole Hillard
President of the Senate
State Capitol
Pierre, SD 57501-5070
Dear Lt. Governor Hillard and Members of the Senate:
I herewith return Senate Bill 21 with the following recommendations as to STYLE and FORM.
Senate Bill 21 is, An Act to specify the responsible party for inmate transportation to court
ordered hearings.
Currently, Section 4 of the bill as delivered to my office reads as follows:
Section 4. In the event a county or the Department of Corrections fails to transport an
inmate as required in this Act, the county or the department may be billed for the cost of
the transport and are responsible for the payment thereof.
This sentence appears to allow a county to bill the Department and the Department to bill the
county. I don't believe that is the Legislature's intent. To clarify the Legislature's intent, I ask
that the following changes be made to the final enrolled bill. I would delete Section 4 and split
it into two sections to read as follows. I believe this states the responsibility for the cost of
transporting inmates more succinctly and accurately.
Section 5. That chapter 1-15 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as
follows:
In the event a county fails to transport an inmate as required in this Act, the county may
be billed for the cost of the transport and is responsible for the payment thereof.
Section 6. That chapter 1-15 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:
I respectfully request you concur with my recommendations as to style and form.
February 5, 1999
