This bill mandates that qualifying schools in South Dakota must accept cash payments for admission to school-affiliated events. If a qualifying school refuses to accept cash on the day of the event, they are required to grant admission without charge to individuals who can demonstrate they have sufficient cash for the admission fee, provided that seating is available. The bill defines "cash" as any physical coin, currency, or note recognized as legal tender by federal law.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definitions of "qualifying school" as any school district or accredited nonpublic school, and "school-affiliated event" as any athletic competition, play, musical, concert, performance, or similar activity conducted or sponsored by the school, with an admission fee of less than two hundred dollars per individual. This legislation aims to ensure that individuals can access school events without being turned away due to payment method restrictions.
