This bill strengthens South Dakota's drunk and impaired driving laws by clarifying that drivers cannot operate vehicles while impaired by alcohol, marijuana, controlled drugs, or prescription medications that make them unsafe to drive. The changes update the legal language for DUI violations involving vehicles, boats, and aircraft to better define what constitutes impairment and ensure consistency across different types of impaired driving offenses.
