BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
    Section 1. That § 23A-32-4 be amended to read as follows:
    23A-32-4. An appeal by a prosecuting attorney in a criminal case may be taken to the Supreme Court, as a matter of right, from a judgment, or order of a circuit court setting aside a verdict and entering judgment of acquittal, sustaining a motion to dismiss an indictment or information on statutory grounds or otherwise, or granting a motion for arrest of judgment or a motion for a new trial, or an order finding mitigating circumstances to exist in deviating from the mandatory sentencing provisions of § 22-42-2; but such appeals shall. However, any appeal does not bar or preclude another prosecution of the defendant for the same offense, except where unless the dismissal is affirmed by the Supreme Court.
