Bill overview
House Bill 1226 would give South Dakota’s county boards of commissioners the authority to create their own policies for investigating complaints of misconduct against county departments, employees, and officers. These policies would need to outline procedures for investigations, specify who can conduct them (including requiring outside investigators), ensure confidentiality and due process, and align with existing state removal procedures. This legislation aims to standardize and improve how misconduct allegations are handled within counties.
