Bill > HB1152

This bill proposes to add a new legal section prohibiting intergovernmental organizations like the United Nations, World Economic Forum, and World Health Organization from having jurisdiction or power within South Dakota. Specifically, the bill prevents any state or local government employee or official from enforcing or implementing any regulations, fees, taxes, or mandates originating from these international organizations. The bill defines an "intergovernmental organization" as an entity created by two or more nations to collaborate on shared interests. By establishing this prohibition, the legislation aims to limit the direct influence of international bodies on state-level governance and policy implementation, asserting a form of state sovereignty against what some perceive as external organizational overreach. If passed, the bill would effectively create a legal barrier preventing South Dakota officials from acting on directives from specified international organizations.
