This proposal asks South Dakota voters to remove a constitutional requirement that the state provide Medicaid coverage to adults earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level—a requirement that was added to the state constitution in 2022. If approved by voters, the state would no longer be obligated to offer this expanded Medicaid coverage, giving lawmakers the option to reduce or eliminate the program.
