Bill > HJR104

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to modify term limits for members of the Missouri General Assembly. The resolution would establish new restrictions on legislative service, with different rules before and after December 5, 2030. Before that date, legislators cannot serve more than eight years in one house or sixteen years total across both houses, with certain historical service periods not counting toward the limit. Beginning December 5, 2030, the total limit across both houses will be sixteen years, with all previous service counted. Additionally, the amendment introduces new leadership position restrictions, limiting legislators to serving as Speaker of the House for no more than three terms and as Senate President Pro Tempore for no more than two terms. The proposed amendment would be submitted to Missouri voters at the general election in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor, allowing citizens to decide whether to adopt these new term limit provisions for state legislators.
