This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would change how South Dakota fills vacant legislative seats. If approved by voters in the next general election, the amendment would replace the current process for filling these vacancies with a new procedure. The specific details of the new process are not included in the excerpt provided, but the change would require a constitutional amendment rather than a simple law change.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
