South Dakota tribal gaming compact bill killed

printer friendly
The South Dakota House killed a bill that would have required legislative approval of tribal-state compacts that seek to expand gaming.

All eight of the state's gaming tribes opposed the bill, as did Gov. Mike Rounds (R). Since the existing process works well, they argued it doesn't need to be changed.

Supporters of the bill argued the public should have a say on the compacts. Other states require legislative approval of compacts although in some cases it is merely ministerial.
