South Dakota's public universities and the Board of Regents are prohibited from spending state money or using state facilities to create, support, or promote sexually explicit content—defined as material featuring sexual acts, nude or partially nude individuals, or removal of clothing for entertainment purposes when intended to appeal to sexual interests. The bill adds this restriction to state law governing higher education institutions. This change does not affect what students or faculty members can do privately, only what the state can fund or facilitate through its universities.
