SB113Dead
Provide protections for parental rights.
This bill establishes parental rights as a fundamental right in South Dakota law and prohibits state agencies, schools, and government officials from interfering with parents' decisions about their children's upbringing, education, healthcare, religious training, and school records access. The law specifically protects parents' rights to choose their child's school type (public, private, home school, etc.), make all health and mental health decisions, direct moral and religious training, and participate in school organizations.
