South Dakota is calling for a national convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose amendments that would limit federal spending and power, and restrict how many terms federal officials and members of Congress can serve. This resolution asks other states to join South Dakota in requesting this constitutional convention, which would be only the second time in American history that such a convention has been called. The resolution itself doesn't change South Dakota state law, but rather asks the federal government to consider major constitutional changes through this convention process.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
