Senate Joint Resolution No. 14 proposes an amendment to the Connecticut State Constitution to extend the legislative term of office for members of the General Assembly from two years to four years. The resolution outlines changes to Section 8 and Section 10 of Article Third of the Constitution, specifying that general elections for assembly members will occur every four years starting in 2030, and that elected officials will serve from the January following their election until the fifth January thereafter.
The resolution also stipulates that this proposed amendment will be presented to voters during the general election on November 3, 2026, allowing the electorate to decide whether to adopt the change. The ballot will pose the question: "Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to increase the term of office for members of the General Assembly from two years to four years?" If approved, the amendment will become part of the state constitution.
