AI Summary

This concurrent resolution proposes amendments to the Mississippi Constitution of 1890 to establish term limits for members of the Mississippi House of Representatives and the Mississippi Senate. Specifically, it states that any person elected to either the House or the Senate after July 1, 2026, who has served three consecutive four-year terms in that office will not be eligible to serve again. This means that after completing twelve years of service in either chamber, a legislator would be unable to run for re-election to that same office. The resolution also clarifies that these term limits will be voted on as a single amendment by the state's qualified electors in November 2026.
