AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the West Virginia Constitution that would establish term limits for members of the State Senate and House of Delegates. Specifically, it would limit senators to serving no more than three consecutive terms and delegates to no more than six consecutive terms.

The resolution also clarifies that terms served before ratification would not count towards these new limits.
