HB1097

South Dakota will provide a $2 million grant through the Department of Corrections to a nonprofit organization in Sioux Falls that runs a youth diversion program designed to keep kids away from the criminal justice system. The nonprofit must use the money to host an annual week-long summer camp for sixth graders identified by school resource officers, along with three follow-up events each year, with participation from local police and sheriff's deputies—and must continue this program for ten years starting in 2026, while reporting annually on the program's results.
