This bill mandates that 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 on the day of the event, the school is required to grant free admission to that individual, provided they can demonstrate they have sufficient cash for the admission fee and that seating is available. The bill defines "cash" as any physical currency recognized as legal tender by federal law, and it specifies that qualifying schools include both school districts and accredited nonpublic schools.

Additionally, the bill outlines what constitutes a "school-affiliated event," which includes various activities such as athletic competitions, plays, concerts, and performances organized or sponsored by the qualifying 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 the inability to pay with anything other than cash.
