This joint resolution asks South Dakota voters to amend the state constitution to allow the legislature to legalize mobile and electronic sports betting. Currently, the constitution prohibits games of chance, so this amendment would create an exception specifically for wagering on sporting events through phones and online platforms. If voters approve it, the legislature could then pass laws to regulate and allow this type of betting in the state.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
