South Dakota voters would decide whether to require that constitutional amendment petitions collect signatures from each county, rather than just from each senatorial district as current law requires. The change would make it harder to qualify amendments for the ballot by spreading the signature-gathering requirement more broadly across the state. This is a proposed constitutional amendment that needs voter approval to take effect.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
