This bill makes it illegal for South Dakota officials and employees to enforce or follow directives from international organizations like the United Nations, World Health Organization, and World Economic Forum, or from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued after July 1, 2025. Violations would be treated as a Class 1 misdemeanor. The bill essentially declares these organizations have no authority in South Dakota and prevents state and local officials from implementing their rules, regulations, policies, or mandates.
