In 2015 the South Dakota Legislature created the Enhanced Carry Permit. The purpose of the new permit was an effort by lawmakers to allow citizens an option to apply for a concealed pistol permit that would be recognized by states with stricter permit requirements. Minnesota and Nebraska do not accept the regular permit but do accept the Enhanced Permit if the permit holder is 21 or older.
