HB 1055 South Dakota House · 2026 Regular Session

update the official code of laws.

HB 1055 updates South Dakota's official code of laws by revising references to the most current legal revisions. It specifies that the code now includes the 2026 revisions of certain volumes (like Volume 16 and 18), replaces outdated references (e.g., changing "2025" to "2026" in the text), and clarifies that the code's adoption does not affect prior legal matters. This is a procedural update, not a policy change, and directly affects how state laws are cited and organized for legal reference. It was introduced at the request of the Code Commission to maintain accurate legal documentation.
