Bill > HR367

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to change the terms of office for members of the Georgia General Assembly (the state legislature). Currently, legislators serve two-year terms, but under this amendment, members elected in 2028 and thereafter would serve four-year terms. The resolution specifically states that members elected in the 2026 general election will continue to serve two-year terms. When implemented, this change means that after 2028, legislative elections will occur quadrennially (every four years) instead of biennially (every two years). The proposed amendment would be submitted to voters for ratification, with the ballot asking whether the Georgia Constitution should be amended to provide four-year terms for General Assembly members starting after the 2028 general election. Voters will have the opportunity to vote "Yes" or "No" on this proposed change, and if a majority approves, the amendment will become part of the state constitution.
