The joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Florida State Constitution that revises the term limits for state representatives and state senators. Currently, these officials are limited to serving eight consecutive years in their respective offices. The proposed amendment would extend this limit to a total of sixteen nonconsecutive years of service, allowing individuals to serve longer in the legislature, provided their total time does not exceed the new limit. This change is set to take effect after the general election on November 3, 2026.

Additionally, the resolution outlines specific provisions regarding the eligibility of individuals for election or re-election based on their prior service. It allows those who may have served in legislative office before the effective date of the amendment to still appear on the ballot for election or re-election, even if they would otherwise be disqualified due to the new term limits. The resolution emphasizes that no individual may serve more than twenty-four years in total, regardless of whether their service was consecutive or nonconsecutive. The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters for approval or rejection in the next general election or an earlier special election.
