South Dakota: Governor Rhoden Signs Pro-Gun Bills Into Law

Today, March 24th, Governor Larry Rhoden signed three pro-gun bills into law. Your NRA was with the Governor at Boyd's Hardwood Gunstocks in Mitchell, SD for the bill signing.  

NRA thanks Governor Rhoden, the bill sponsors, and all legislators for their support and continued effort to provide strong Second Amendment protections in South Dakota. 

Senate Bill 100, sponsored by Senator Jensen, Senator Voita, Representative Gosch, and representative Mulally, allows enhanced permit holders to carry on the campus of a state institution of higher education. 

House Bill 1218, sponsored by Representative Aylward and Senator Voita, prohibits political subdivisions from restricting concealed carry on properties they own or lease for employees, officers, and volunteers, and repeals gun-free zones at eateries and establishments that serve alcohol.

House Bill 1222, sponsored by Representative Nolz and Senator Voita, allows for firearms to be stored in vehicles on school grounds by permit holders. 

Earlier this session, Governor Rhoden also signed Senate Bill 81, preventing the use of firearm-specific merchant category codes, and House Bill 1080, preventing restrictions on the Second Amendment in covenants that run with the land.
