S.D. Admin. R. 17:60:05:26
Any applicant who qualifies for an exceptional pardon may use an expedited process if the applicant's offense is a Class 2 misdemeanor or a petty offense that is at least five years old or a nonviolent Class 1 misdemeanor at least ten years old. A person who has a felony conviction or violent misdemeanor or is requesting restoration of firearms rights or has had a conviction within the proceeding five years, excluding traffic offenses, is not eligible for the expedited process. An expedited application may be presented directly to the full board without the necessity of a personal appearance or a hearing panel. Except for the foregoing, the provisions of the rest of this chapter apply to the expedited pardon process in accordance with the exceptional pardon process.
