Bill Summary

A JOINT RESOLUTION proposing and submitting to the voters at the next general election an amendment to the Constitution of the State of South Dakota, providing for wagering on sporting events via mobile or electronic platform.

AI Summary

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the South Dakota Constitution to allow wagering on sporting events through mobile or electronic platforms, such as smartphones or computers. Currently, South Dakota law permits certain games of chance for charitable organizations and allows for a state lottery and video games of chance. It also permits specific casino games like roulette, keno, craps, limited card games, and slot machines within the city of Deadwood, with net proceeds going to historic preservation. This resolution would expand this to permit sports wagering via mobile or electronic platforms, even for individuals outside Deadwood, as long as the platform is offered by or partnered with a licensed casino and its servers are located within Deadwood. A significant portion of the tax revenue generated from this mobile sports wagering would be dedicated to property tax relief.
