revise a provision related to aggravated assault.
HB 1062 is a technical amendment to South Dakota's aggravated assault statute (§ 22-18-1.1). It renumbers existing subsections and removes references to provisions previously deleted by law (specifically removing references to subsections (3), (6), and (7) as deleted by prior legislation). The bill does not change the actual legal definition or penalties for aggravated assault, which remains a Class 3 felony for causing serious injury under specified circumstances. This is purely a procedural update to correct the statutory numbering and eliminate outdated references in the law.
