HB1022 streamlines South Dakota's crime victims' compensation program by consolidating duplicate procedures—it combines two separate sections of law that required nearly identical department orders into a single requirement. The bill updates the language to clarify modern communication methods (email and hand delivery in addition to mailing) and removes outdated procedural language. These changes simplify the administration of victim compensation claims without altering what victims receive or how they can appeal decisions.
