The South Dakota Department of Public Safety received a $1.745 million Formula Grant award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to support alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025. The funding is provided through the Minimum Penalties for Repeat Offenders for Driving While Intoxicated federal grant program (CFDA 20.608) to encourage states to enact and enforce repeat intoxicated offender laws and avoid the transfer of related penalty funds. Specifically, the award will support South Dakota's efforts to establish minimum specified penalties for repeat driving under the influence offenders, as required by Section 164 of Title 23 to retain penalty transfer funds from the federal government.
