HB 1132 South Dakota House · 2026 Regular Session

prohibit the use of property and personnel in the enforcement of certain federal laws pertaining to firearms.

HB 1132 prohibits South Dakota state and local government employees from using public resources (personnel, equipment, or funds) to assist in enforcing federal firearm laws that are stricter than South Dakota's current laws. It specifically targets federal measures related to firearm registries, licensing requirements, background checks, or confiscation of firearms from law-abiding residents. The bill defines "material aid" broadly to include sharing information, using facilities, or participating in joint operations that support federal enforcement of these stricter laws. Exceptions allow cooperation on non-firearm crimes, state law enforcement with federal officers present (without aiding federal enforcement), compliance with court orders, and actions against individuals already prohibited from owning firearms under state law. This bill takes effect for federal laws taking effect on or after July 1, 2026.
