The bill amends South Dakota's existing law regarding the reimbursement of expenses incurred by counties for the detention of parolees. Specifically, it maintains that the state will reimburse counties for expenses related to the detention of parolees, with a cap of ninety-five dollars per day. However, it stipulates that if a county incurs additional costs for a parolee's medication and medical care, those costs will be reimbursed in full. The state is required to process these reimbursements within thirty days of receiving the bill.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that counties will not be reimbursed for costs associated with detaining a parolee who is held for criminal charges that are unrelated to their current conviction and sentence. This provision aims to ensure that state funds are allocated appropriately and that counties are not financially burdened by unrelated legal issues concerning parolees.
