South Dakota is formally asking Congress to call a constitutional convention where states can propose amendments to limit federal spending, reduce federal power over states, and impose term limits on members of Congress and other federal officials. This resolution doesn't change South Dakota state law itself, but rather submits the state's official request to join other states in seeking this national convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
