The proposed bill seeks to establish a new section in South Dakota law that explicitly prohibits covenants running with the land from restricting or prohibiting the lawful possession, storage, transportation, or discharge of firearms and ammunition. This means that any existing or future covenants that attempt to impose such restrictions would be rendered void and unenforceable.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that if any provision within a covenant is found to violate this new section, that specific provision will be considered void and severable, allowing any remaining provisions of the covenant to remain in effect if they can still be applied. This legislation aims to protect the rights of individuals to possess and use firearms without interference from property covenants.
