address the assumption of risk by an individual present at a shooting range.

Summary

The bill adds a new section to South Dakota law stating that anyone present at a shooting range is considered to have assumed the obvious and inherent dangers of that setting, including noise, projectile discharge, equipment malfunctions, terrain changes, and natural debris. It applies to all shooting ranges—public, private, or law‑enforcement—regardless of ownership. The purpose is to limit liability for range operators by codifying the assumption‑of‑risk principle.
