The bill introduces a new section to South Dakota law that clarifies the assumption of risk for individuals present at shooting ranges. It states that individuals assume all associated risks that are obvious and inherent to the activity, which includes potential injuries from various factors such as noise, the discharge of projectiles, equipment malfunctions not owned by the range, natural terrain variations, and hazardous surface conditions like snow or ice.

Additionally, the bill defines a "shooting range" as an area designed for the use of firearms and archery, which can be located on either public or private land and operated by public or private entities, including law enforcement ranges. This legal clarification aims to protect shooting range operators from liability by ensuring that participants are aware of the risks involved in the activity.
