PIERRE, S.D. – Senate Bill 58, legislation proposed by Attorney General Marty Jackley to better address human trafficking in South Dakota, was unanimously approved Thursday by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The bill would revise current provisions related to human trafficking, prohibit the obstruction of human trafficking enforcement, and provide a penalty.
“South Dakota is not immune from human trafficking, and this legislation strengthens protections for human trafficking victims and enhances our ability to hold offenders accountable,” said Attorney General Jackley.
