Bill > H3744

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Constitution that would allow the General Assembly (the state legislature) to establish term limits for its own members in both the Senate and House of Representatives. Specifically, the proposed constitutional amendment would give the legislature the authority to create laws that restrict the number of terms a legislator can serve, whether those terms are consecutive or cumulative. The proposed amendment would be submitted to voters at the next general election for representatives, with voters asked to approve or reject the measure by marking "Yes" or "No" on their ballots. If approved, this would give the South Carolina General Assembly the power to determine and implement specific term limit restrictions for state senators and representatives, which currently do not exist in the state constitution. The ballot language clearly explains that the amendment would authorize the legislature to enact statutory limitations on the number of terms members can serve in either chamber.
