This bill allows people to carry knives with blades no longer than four inches inside the South Dakota state capitol building, whereas the previous law banned all dangerous weapons there. The change applies to anyone legally allowed to carry concealed pistols in the building under federal law. Courts, security-controlled offices, and the Supreme Court chamber are still excluded from this knife permission.
