HB 1133 South Dakota House · 2026 Regular Session

remove an enhanced permit as a condition of carrying a concealed pistol while on the campus of a public institution of higher education.

HB 1133 removes the requirement for an "enhanced permit" to carry a concealed pistol on campuses of South Dakota's public colleges and universities. Currently, the law (in sections 13-39A-43 and 13-53-56) mandates that only individuals with an enhanced, restricted enhanced, or reciprocal permit may carry concealed weapons on these campuses. This bill would allow anyone with a standard concealed carry permit (or equivalent) to carry on campus without needing the enhanced permit. It directly affects students, faculty, and visitors carrying concealed weapons at public higher education institutions across South Dakota.
