South Dakota Legislators passed two bills during the 2007 session that
directly affected Meth treatment in the state while a third clarified the
law requiring pseudoephedrine purchase logs. The House first
considered and passed the bills; the Senate approved them and sent them on
to the Governor for his signature. House Bill
1246
The South Dakota Legislature has approved funding for an intensive Meth
treatment program in the women’s state correctional system. The bill
includes appropriations for $1,780,858 and 16 full-time employees for the
new program. The funds and employees are drawn from the Department of
Human Services, the Department of Corrections and the Department of
Health. The bill has been sent to the Senate.
House Bill
1271
The South Dakota Legislature approved a bill to create a drug court program as
an alternative to traditional incarceration for nonviolent adult felony
offenders. Legislators approved $212,000 to finance the program and three
full time employees. The drug court pilot program will offer intensive,
supervised rehabilitation for ten first-time offenders.
House Bill 1073
Members of the South Dakota House have approved a change in the law passed
last year regarding how retailers maintain records on customers’
pseudoephedrine or ephedrine purchases. The original law required
retailers to send copies of the purchase logs to the state Attorney
General’s office every month. The new bill eliminates that, and instead
requires the retailer to keep the logs for two years. Retailers will still
be required to give the records to law enforcement agencies as requested.
