South Dakota: Enhanced Conceal Carry Bill Passed in Committee

Yesterday, Senate Bill 203 was passed in the House Judiciary Committee with a vote of 11-1 and will be heard on the House floor today, February 27th. The bill allows gun owners with enhanced concealed carry permits and with written permission by the school’s principal, to conceal carry on public school grounds. Please contact your representative and ask them to SUPPORT SB 203 with no amendments, 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, House Bill 1228 was passed on the senate floor with a vote of 32-0 and will now head to the governor’s desk. 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.

Stay tuned to your inbox and the NRA-ILA website for updates concerning your Second Amendment Rights and hunting heritage in South Dakota.
