Tribal delinquency jurisdiction, 2016

  • State (mandatory)

  • State (other)

  • Federal

  • Not applicable

South Dakota is considered an optional P.L. 280 state, though state jurisdiction over civil and criminal actions on highways has been found invalid by case law, etc.  A state statute SD 26-7A-2 mentions "delinquency" in terms of the Indian Child Welfare Act, which would apply at times. Also see Title 1, Chapter 1-1. and SD Department of Tribal Relations.
