There are a number of ballot issue and amendment modification bills already introduced in the South Dakota legislature.

Doug Kronaizl of Vermillion was involved in the petition effort that got IM-22 on the ballot in 2016. He says many of those bills could be bad for ballot initiatives…..

Kronaizl says ballot issues are an important application of democracy…

One bill would require a fifty-five percent majority to approve constitutional amendments. Kronaizl says that should be applied to that proposal first…..

Kronaizl says there seems to be a strong, negative reaction among many legislators to ballot issues.
