This bill prohibits South Dakota financial institutions from using special firearms merchant codes to identify or track gun and ammunition sales—essentially banning them from labeling transactions to flag firearms dealers or purchases. Violators face civil penalties. The law prevents banks, credit unions, and payment processors from flagging or monitoring these transactions, even for their own internal purposes.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
