South Dakota is calling for a national convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose amendments that would impose spending limits on the federal government, reduce federal power, and establish term limits for members of Congress. The bill repeals an outdated state law provision (§7-8-16) as a technical cleanup. This resolution doesn't change any state laws directly but instead asks Congress to convene a constitutional convention with other states to address federal fiscal policy and government structure.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
