The South Dakota Board of Regents has adopted a policy officially enacting a new law allowing concealed carry at the state’s public universities.
Senate Bill 100 went into effect July 1. It allows students, staff and others to carry concealed handguns, mace and stun guns on college campuses.
Previously, firearms were banned on campus except those carried by law enforcement.
At the latest Board of Regents meetings, the board voted to implement the policy, effectively putting regental rules in line with the new law.
