This constitutional amendment would make South Dakota's expanded Medicaid coverage automatic only while the federal government pays at least 90% of the costs; once federal funding drops below that threshold, the state would no longer be required to cover adults earning up to 133% of the federal poverty level. Currently, South Dakota's constitution requires this expanded Medicaid coverage indefinitely, but this change would tie it to federal funding levels. Voters would decide whether to approve this amendment in the next general election.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
