SB122 prevents public colleges and universities in South Dakota from creating their own rules that would restrict students, faculty, or staff from possessing firearms on campus. This takes away the authority that schools currently have to set stricter gun policies than state law allows, meaning campuses must permit firearms unless state law specifically prohibits them.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
