BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
Section 1. That the code be amended by adding a NEW SECTION to read:
Notwithstanding § 25-10-40, if the police officer or sheriff believes that the domestic abuse
perpetrator has a severe mental illness that makes the person an imminent danger to self or
others, the officer or sheriff may initiate a mental illness hold under § 27A-10-3 and transport
the person to an appropriate regional facility as described in that section and in accordance with
the provisions set forth in title 27A. This section is not a substitution for an arrest under the
provisions of chapter 25-10, and the person shall be released only to the custody of law
enforcement or a law enforcement agency if the mental illness hold is released.
