This bill changes how many signatures are needed to propose a constitutional amendment through a citizen petition. Instead of requiring signatures from at least 5% of the state's qualified voters, the new rule requires signatures from voters in each of South Dakota's senatorial districts, with each district needing at least 10% of the total votes that were cast for Governor in that district during the last governor's election.
