As the nation debates gun control measures and as President Obama leaves
Washington to bring his agenda for gun control to the nation, the South
Dakota House passed a bill to allow school boards to create, establish,
and supervise individual school sentinel programs. The bill leaves the
decision to have arms in the school to the individual school boards.
The bill is sponsored by 29 of the 105 legislators in Pierre. The bill
passed the house 42-27 on the 29th of January. House Bill 1087 had its
first reading in the Senate on the 30th and has been referred to the
Senate State Affairs committee.
