State Senate advances measure asking voters to authorize mobile sports betting
PIERRE — The South Dakota Senate voted 23-10 on Wednesday to approve a resolution that would ask voters to legalize mobile sports betting and capture tax revenue from it to reduce property taxes.
If the state House of Representatives also approves the resolution, it will go on the ballot Nov. 3.
Senate Joint Resolution 504, introduced by Sen. Casey Crabtree, R-Madison, would put 90% of tax revenue from mobile sports betting toward replacing property taxes. If voters approve the state constitutional amendment, the Legislature would set additional policies to put the program in place.
Voters amended the state constitution in 2020 to legalize sports betting only in Deadwood and tribal casinos in South Dakota. It is legal statewide in Wyoming and Iowa, among other states, and sports-betting smartphone apps and websites have proliferated nationwide.
