HB 1025 South Dakota House · 2026 Regular Session

authorize the issuance of no-trespass orders by private security officers, require the establishment of buffer zones per written no-trespass orders, and afford municipalities greater authority to regulate trespass.

HB 1025 allows uniformed private security officers to issue written no-trespass orders against individuals entering property where trespass is prohibited, requiring a minimum 50-foot buffer zone from the property boundary unless crossing a public right-of-way. It expands authority beyond current law, which previously limited such orders to law enforcement officers. The bill also permits municipalities to create stricter trespass regulations (excluding penalty changes) than state law, as long as they align with existing state standards. This directly affects property owners, private security firms, and local governments managing trespass enforcement.
