South Dakota is applying to Congress to call a national constitutional convention focused on three goals: requiring the federal government to balance its budget, limiting federal power and authority, and imposing term limits on members of Congress and other federal officials. This is a formal request under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, which allows states to petition for a convention to propose constitutional amendments. The bill adds South Dakota's voice to other states making similar applications for this type of convention.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
