South Dakota HB1025 allows private security officers to issue no-trespass orders and establishes buffer zones, while giving municipalities more.

South Dakota HB1025 amends state law to authorize private security officers to issue written no-trespass orders, requiring individuals to remain fifty feet or more from the property. The bill also mandates the creation of buffer zones as per these written orders. Municipalities are granted greater authority to enforce stricter trespass regulations, with ordinances deemed supplemental to state law. The bill specifies that trespassing remains a Class 2 misdemeanor, escalating to a Class 1 misdemeanor if the individual defies an order to leave and not return.
