This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow the South Dakota Legislature to authorize sports wagering through mobile and electronic platforms, which is currently prohibited by the state constitution. If voters approve the amendment in the next general election, it would add an exception to the existing ban on games of chance, similar to existing exceptions that already allow state lotteries and charitable gambling. The amendment would give the Legislature the power to decide how to regulate and operate mobile sports betting in the state.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
