Constitutional Amendment Supreme Court Reform
# SCR 602 Summary
South Dakota's Senate is calling for a U.S. Constitutional amendment that would lock the Supreme Court at nine justices, preventing Congress from changing that number. This resolution doesn't change any South Dakota state law—it's a statement of support sent to the federal government urging passage of a constitutional amendment on the national level.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
