If a resident of South Dakota is a victim of a crime as defined in § 23A-28B-1, but the crime occurred outside the boundaries of this state, the resident has the same rights under the provisions of this chapter as if the crime had occurred within this state upon a showing that the state, territory, country, or political subdivision of a country in which the crime occurred does not have a crime victims’ compensation law which covers the injury or death suffered by the resident.
