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 if their terms are not consecutive. This change is intended to be effective after the general election on November 3, 2026, and it includes provisions for individuals who may have served prior to this date, allowing them to run for re-election and complete their terms.

Additionally, the resolution outlines specific conditions under which individuals may appear on the ballot for election or re-election, including exceptions for those whose terms were shortened due to apportionment. The amendment aims to provide greater flexibility in legislative service while maintaining a cap on total years served. The proposed changes will be submitted to the voters for approval or rejection in the next general election or an earlier special election authorized by law.
