Bill > S0302

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Constitution to establish term limits for members of the General Assembly, which is the state's legislative body. Specifically, it would limit Senators to serving no more than three terms and members of the House of Representatives to serving no more than six terms. The resolution clarifies that any terms served before January 1, 2021, will not count towards these limits, and serving more than half of a term will be considered a full term. If approved by the General Assembly, this amendment would then be put to a vote by the state's qualified electors during the next general election.
