South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) signed legislation Tuesday repealing all concealed carry permit fees in the state.
The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) reported on the repeal, noting the legislation, SB 212, “reduces the cost of South Dakota carry permits to $0.”
The fee change is effective July 1, 2022.
Noem tweeted about the repeal after signing the legislation:
South Dakota is one of 24 constitutional carry states in the Union. However, like all other constitutional carry states, South Dakota retains a permitting option for concealed carry so that residents with a permit can enjoy reciprocity when they travel in states that recognize South Dakota’s permit.
