# HB 1150 Summary South Dakota would ban the use of cyanide in gold and silver mining operations. This new restriction would prevent mining companies from using cyanide-based extraction methods, which are commonly used to separate gold and silver from ore but pose environmental and health risks.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
