South Dakota prohibits the state, local governments, and private employers from issuing vaccine passports, sharing COVID-19 vaccination records, or requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination for employment, entry to businesses, or participation in events. Violations result in a Class 1 misdemeanor and a $10,000 civil fine per violation. The law does not prevent COVID-19 screening protocols designed to protect public health.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
