South Dakota would formally apply to Congress to call 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 authority, and establish term limits for members of Congress. This resolution doesn't change South Dakota state law itself, but rather directs the state to petition the federal government to pursue these constitutional changes at the national level.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
