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 set to take effect after the general election on November 3, 2026, and includes provisions for those who may have served prior to this date, allowing them to run for re-election and complete their terms even if they exceed the new limits.

Additionally, the resolution outlines specific disqualifications for individuals seeking to hold office, particularly those with felony convictions or mental incompetence. It emphasizes that individuals who have served in legislative office before the effective date of the amendment may still run for election or re-election, provided they do not exceed a total of twenty-four years of service, regardless of whether that service was consecutive or nonconsecutive. The resolution will be submitted to voters for approval or rejection at the next general election or an earlier special election authorized by law.
