Bill > HJR44

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to modify term limits for members of Missouri's General Assembly (the state legislature). The proposed amendment would restrict legislators to a maximum of eight years total in any single chamber (House of Representatives or Senate) and a maximum of sixteen years total across both chambers. Importantly, the resolution specifies that service before December 3, 1992, or partial terms of less than one year in the House or two years in the Senate would not count toward these limits. Additionally, the amendment introduces new provisions limiting leadership positions, stipulating that no person can serve as Speaker of the House for more than two terms or as Senate President Pro Tempore for more than one term. The proposed amendment would be submitted to Missouri voters for approval at the next general election in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor, representing a significant potential change to the state's legislative term limit structure.
