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 office. The proposed amendment would extend this limit to a total of sixteen nonconsecutive years of service, allowing individuals to serve longer in the legislature over their lifetime, provided they do not exceed the new limit. This change would take effect after the general election on November 3, 2026, and would allow those who are currently serving or who have served prior to this date to complete their terms without being affected by the new limits.

Additionally, the resolution outlines specific provisions regarding the eligibility of individuals to appear on the ballot for election or re-election based on their prior service. It clarifies that individuals whose terms were shortened due to apportionment may still run for office, and it establishes that no one can serve more than twenty-four years in total, regardless of whether that service is consecutive or nonconsecutive. The resolution will be submitted to the voters for approval or rejection at the next general election or an earlier special election.
