HB1010

South Dakota's ban on using mobile devices while driving is being clarified to allow drivers to use GPS navigation features as long as they don't manually enter information into the device while operating the vehicle. The bill also expands the emergency exceptions to include reporting unsafe drivers and crimes to authorities, not just contacting emergency services directly. These changes maintain the Class 2 misdemeanor penalty for violations while making the law more practical for common driving situations.
