Bill > HJR91

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to modify term limits for Missouri state legislators by submitting the proposed changes to voters at the next general election in November 2026. The amendment would update existing term limit restrictions, initially maintaining the current rule that no one can serve more than eight years total in one chamber of the General Assembly or sixteen years total across both chambers. However, beginning January 1, 2032, the amendment would change these limits to allow legislators to serve up to twelve years in a single chamber and twenty years total across both chambers. Additionally, the resolution introduces new provisions restricting leadership positions, specifically limiting the Speaker of the House to four years and the Senate President Pro Tempore to six years, also effective January 1, 2032. These proposed changes aim to provide more flexibility for legislative service while still maintaining overall term limits to prevent career politicians from serving indefinitely.
