SB 192 South Dakota Senate · 2025 Regular Session

rename the Department of Corrections.

South Dakota Senate Bill 192 proposes to rename the Department of Corrections to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. This change would directly affect the state agency responsible for managing prisons and correctional facilities. The bill does not alter the agency's operational functions or funding, but only updates its official name to reflect a broader scope of services. This is a procedural change focused on terminology rather than substantive policy reform.
