This bill establishes a new provision allowing students enrolled in a school district who have enlisted in the South Dakota National Guard or any branch of the armed forces to wear military decorations, such as a sash or stole, during their school graduation ceremonies. The decorations must be issued to the student by the respective military organization specifically for this purpose.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it is necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, or safety, and thus will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
