South DakotaSouth Dakota law directs remaining gaming revenue to state and local recipients
After commission expenses and a $100,000 historic preservation payment, remaining gaming funds go to the state, some local governments and schools, and Deadwood.
What it does
After commission expenses and a $100,000 historic preservation payment, remaining funds are divided among the state, Lawrence County municipalities and schools, and Deadwood.
Argument forDeadwood and eligible local governments and schools could receive clearer shares of remaining gaming revenue, helping them plan how to use those funds.
Argument againstThe general fund and some local recipients could receive a smaller share if the revised percentages direct more remaining gaming revenue to other recipients.
More detail
The text directs remaining gaming revenue among the state, Lawrence County municipalities, eligible school districts, and Deadwood. The shares go to the state general fund, Lawrence County municipalities other than Deadwood, qualifying school districts in whole or part in Lawrence County, and the City of Deadwood. Commission expenses and the $100,000 payment to the state historic preservation fund come before this distribution. The law directs these shares from funds remaining after the stated payments; it gives no separate start date in these provisions.
