South Dakota: Enhanced Concealed Carry Bill Passes Out of Committee

On Thursday, February 15^th, Senate Bill 203 passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee with a 7-0 vote. The bill allows gun owners with enhanced concealed carry permits and with written permission by the school’s principle, to conceal carry on public school grounds. The bill is scheduled to be debated on the Senate floor Tuesday of next week. Please contact your state senator and ask them to SUPPORT SB 203 by using the Take Action button below.

SB 203 amends current law, by allowing an individual with an enhanced concealed carry permit and written permission from a school principal or individual with control of supervision of the grounds, to carry at a public primary or secondary schools. This bill recognizes the ongoing effort to protect our most vulnerable by securing our schools. 

Additionally last week, House Bill 1228 was passed by the House 69-1 and will next be considered in the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. HB 1228 will allow sportsmen and women to wear fluorescent pink as an alternative to hunter orange, providing additional choices in the field while maintaining the spirit of the law.
