The proposed resolution seeks to amend the Connecticut State Constitution to extend the legislative term of office for state senators and representatives from two years to four years. Under this amendment, general elections for legislators would occur in the 2nd, 6th, and 10th years following the decennial census, with the legislators elected in the 10th year serving a two-year term to align with new redistricting boundaries. The resolution outlines the specific terms of office for legislators based on the election year in relation to the census, thereby establishing a framework for the timing and duration of legislative service.

If the resolution is approved by at least three-quarters of the General Assembly, it will be placed on the ballot for the November 2026 general election. The ballot will ask voters whether they support the amendment, which is designated as: "Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to provide, after each decennial redistricting, for two four-year legislative terms and a two-year legislative term?" Should the amendment pass in the election, it will become part of the state constitution. The resolution also notes a one-time printing cost of $35,000 for the Secretary of the State associated with the ballot, which may shift to a later fiscal year if the necessary legislative votes are not secured.
