Governor Supports Bills That Would Repeal Parts of Marsys Law

There are several bills filed in the South Dakota legislature that would repeal parts or all of Marsys Law. That constitutional amendment dealing with crime victims rights was approved by voters in 2016.

Governor Dennis Daugaard says he supports the bills he has seen so far

Daugaard says he also supports bills expanding state protections for victims

Daugaard says most of the backing for the amendment came from out of state

Supporters of Marsys Law says to be effective, it has to stay in the constitution.
