Applying to the United States Congress for a convention of the states to propose amendments to the United States Constitution regarding the imposition of fiscal restraints on the federal government, further limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limiting the terms of office for members of Congress and other federal officials.

This bill proposes that South Dakota apply to the U.S. Congress for a constitutional convention to propose amendments focused on limiting federal government power. The requested amendments would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, further restrict its jurisdiction, and limit the terms of office for members of Congress and other federal officials. If approved by enough states, this application could lead to a constitutional convention where proposed changes would need to be ratified by three-fourths of the states to become part of the Constitution. The bill directly affects South Dakota's role in the federal constitutional amendment process.
