Bill overview
This bill prohibits South Dakota officials and employees from using state resources – including personnel, property, and money – to assist in the enforcement of certain federal firearms laws. Specifically, it targets federal regulations related to firearm registries, licensing, background checks, confiscation, and surrender. The bill allows for cooperation in investigations with non-firearms-related criminal activity and compliance with court orders, but prohibits providing ‘material aid’ to federal authorities. Individuals can sue the state for violations, and the Attorney General can initiate legal action.
