This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow the South Dakota Legislature to authorize mobile and electronic wagering on sporting events, which is currently prohibited by the state constitution. If voters approve this amendment at the next general election, the Legislature would gain the power to create laws permitting sports betting through phones and online platforms. The amendment preserves existing exceptions for charitable gaming and state lotteries while adding this new category of permitted wagering.
