South Dakota property owners can no longer be bound by deed restrictions or neighborhood covenants that ban firearms, firearm parts, ammunition, or shooting on their land. Any existing covenants with such restrictions—even those made before this law takes effect—become unenforceable and void. The new law protects the lawful possession, storage, transportation, and discharge of firearms from being restricted through property covenants.
