revise percentages regarding certain municipal proceeds of gaming revenues.

This bill changes how gaming revenue from Deadwood casinos is divided among the state and local recipients once the City of Deadwood receives its annual payment of $6.8 million. Instead of the state getting 70% of remaining funds, it will receive 40%, while Deadwood's historic preservation fund share increases from 10% to 40%, with municipalities and schools in Lawrence County continuing to split the remaining 20%.

add an exemption from the calculation of adjusted gross proceeds from gaming.

This bill exempts federal excise taxes on sports wagers from the calculation of gaming tax, meaning casinos and gaming operators won't pay South Dakota's gaming tax on that federal tax amount. The bill also clarifies that free play credits offered by gaming operators are excluded from the taxable gaming proceeds that the state uses to calculate its gaming tax revenue.

revise percentages regarding certain municipal proceeds of gaming revenues.

This bill redistributes gaming revenue from Deadwood casinos after the city receives its $6.8 million annual payment.

increase the limit on the number of video lottery machines in a licensed establishment.

SB 183 allows licensed establishments to operate more video lottery machines than current law permits. The bill amends the existing limit on video lottery machines in establishments, though the specific new number is not detailed in the provided excerpt.

provide for the taxation of marijuana.

This bill creates a new 15% excise tax on marijuana that manufacturers must pay when they sell marijuana to dispensaries, with the tax calculated based on the average market rate for the product. The bill defines key terms like "dispensary," "manufacturer," and "marijuana products" to establish the framework for taxing marijuana sales in South Dakota. This appears to be enabling legislation for taxing marijuana in the state, though the excerpt does not show the complete tax structure or rates that may apply to other stages of the marijuana supply chain.

establish provisions concerning the sale of adult-use retail marijuana.

HB1178 establishes rules for selling marijuana to adults in South Dakota, creating a legal framework for retail marijuana sales where they were previously prohibited or unregulated. The bill sets criteria that marijuana retailers must follow to operate legally in the state. This represents a significant change from South Dakota's prior law, which banned marijuana sales entirely.
