This bill clarifies the rules for who can get a license to operate video lottery machines in South Dakota by specifying that operators must be state residents or publicly traded companies that were already licensed before 1997. The bill also updates the language to make clear that video lottery operators must meet the same eligibility requirements as other lottery businesses, including passing a background investigation along with their partners, managers, and major shareholders.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
