South Dakota prohibits state agencies, officials, and employees from creating, enforcing, or accepting federal funding for extreme risk protection orders—court orders that would require someone to surrender firearms or prevent them from owning guns. Any state official who violates this prohibition commits a felony, and the bill declares that any such orders are null and unenforceable in South Dakota. This law effectively blocks the state from participating in or enforcing "red flag" laws that temporarily remove firearms from people deemed at high risk of harming themselves or others.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
