South Dakota's secretary of state must now review every proposed ballot initiative to check whether it violates the state constitution's requirement that measures address only one subject, and certify compliance in writing to the sponsors and state officials. If the secretary of state denies certification, anyone can appeal directly to the Supreme Court within 15 days, and the same appeal right applies if someone challenges a measure that was certified.
