prohibit the personal possession of a loaded firearm while under the influence of marijuana or intoxicated.

South Dakota already prohibited possessing a loaded firearm while intoxicated, and this bill expands that prohibition to also ban possessing a loaded firearm while under the influence of marijuana. Both violations remain Class 1 misdemeanors, and the bill defines "loaded firearm" to include guns with ammunition in the chamber, magazine, or detachable magazine.

define a loaded firearm.

This bill removes the definition of "loaded firearm" from South Dakota law, though the bill text provided doesn't show what that definition was. The bill also makes technical corrections to references in hunting and wildlife regulations, updating how the law defines domesticated fur-bearing animals and other hunting-related terms.
