FOR AN ACT ENTITLED, An Act to revise certain provisions relating to the conditional
release of persons charged with domestic abuse.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
Section 1. That § 25-10-41 be amended to read as follows:
25-10-41. In determining the conditions of release under § 25-10-40, the court shall consider
the following conditions and may impose any condition it considers reasonably necessary to
protect the alleged victim of domestic abuse, including ordering the defendant:
(1) Not to subject the victim to further domestic abuse;
(2) To vacate the home of the victim;
(3) Not to contact the victim other than through counsel;
(4) To engage in counseling;
(5) To refrain from the consumption of alcohol or the use of drugs;
(6) To post bond pursuant to § 25-10-23.
As used in this section, the term "domestic abuse" means a violation of § 22-18-1 or 22-18-
1.1 if the victim is a family or household member.
