Introduced Text

SB145 revises South Dakota law to clarify municipalities' powers for health and disease suppression.

SB145 amends South Dakota law to clarify that municipalities may take necessary actions for health promotion and disease suppression, provided these actions do not infringe on constitutional rights. Specifically, actions cannot prohibit religious exercise, restrict free speech, press, or peaceful assembly, interfere with private residence or business activities, or impede the right to bear arms. This revision ensures municipalities can act within these constitutional boundaries.
