This bill changes how South Dakota distributes gaming revenues starting in 2026 by gradually shifting money from the state's general fund to the City of Deadwood's historic preservation fund over a four-year period. The state's share drops from 70% to 20% by 2029, while Deadwood's share increases from 10% to 40%, with the remaining percentages going to other Lawrence County municipalities and school districts. The change only takes effect after Deadwood receives its required $6.8 million annual payment.
