The proposed bill mandates that all qualifying schools in South Dakota must accept cash payments for admission to school-affiliated events. If a school refuses to accept cash from an individual who has sufficient funds on the day of the event, the school is required to grant that individual admission without charge. Additionally, schools that sell concessions at these events must provide at least one cash payment option on each floor where concessions are available. The bill defines "cash" as any physical currency recognized as legal tender by federal law and outlines what constitutes a "qualifying school" and a "school-affiliated event."

Furthermore, the bill specifies that a "qualifying school" includes school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, and institutions governed by the South Dakota Board of Regents or the South Dakota Board of Technical Education. A "school-affiliated event" encompasses various activities such as athletic competitions, plays, concerts, and any event held in facilities owned or leased by the qualifying school, provided that an admission fee is charged. This legislation aims to ensure accessibility and convenience for attendees at school events.
