South Dakota now requires people proposing constitutional amendments to submit their proposals to the Legislative Research Council at least six months before collecting signatures, so the council can review them for legal compliance and potential fiscal impacts. The council director must provide written feedback within 15 business days to help sponsors fix any problems with their proposed amendment before they start gathering signatures.
