The resolution encourages South Dakota's congressional delegation to hold annual meetings with the state Legislature. It emphasizes the role of state legislators as protectors of liberty against federal overreach and highlights concerns regarding the federal government's excessive spending, which has led to a national debt surpassing the gross domestic product. The resolution also points out that the federal government has exceeded its constitutional limits, affecting the states' legitimate roles through federal mandates.
To address these issues, the resolution calls for each member of the congressional delegation to meet with the Legislature, convened as a joint committee, for at least one hour each year. The timing of these meetings would be coordinated between the congressional member, the speaker of the House, and the president pro tempore of the Senate, allowing for discussions on the state of the federal government and the representative's efforts on behalf of South Dakota and its residents.
