The bill amends South Dakota law regarding the process of license revocation following a conviction. It specifies that if a person's privilege has been revoked under sections 41-6-74.1 or 41-6-74.2, the individual must surrender their license to the court or clerk of courts immediately if present at the time of conviction. If not present, the individual is required to return the license to the department within fourteen days of the conviction. The bill also clarifies that the revocation must be noted on the face of the license, which can remain valid for other purposes if it is a combination license.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new definition of "conviction" for the purposes of sections 41-6-74.1 to 41-6-74.3. This definition includes a verdict or plea of guilty, a plea of nolo contendere, a suspended imposition of sentence, an unvacated forfeiture of bail, and any other judgment of guilt entered against a defendant in a criminal case. The changes aim to provide clearer guidelines for the handling of license revocations and the definition of convictions related to these sections.
