South Dakota is applying to Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, with the goal of proposing amendments that would limit federal spending and power and restrict how long members of Congress and other federal officials can serve. This is a request to participate in a multi-state effort to change the U.S. Constitution itself, not a change to state law. The bill amends South Dakota's existing application procedures to make this request.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
