Bill > S0384

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Constitution that would allow the General Assembly, which is the state's legislative body composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives, to pass laws establishing term limits for its own members. This means that lawmakers could be restricted in how many terms, whether served back-to-back or accumulated over time, they can serve in either the Senate or the House. The proposed amendment will be put to a vote by the state's qualified voters during the next general election for representatives, and the outcome will determine if this change to the state's foundational law can be enacted.
