The joint resolution proposes amendments to the Florida State Constitution, specifically targeting Section 1 of Article VIII and Section 4 of Article IX, to establish term limits for members of boards of county commissioners and district school boards. The proposed amendments would limit individuals to serving a maximum of eight consecutive years in these positions. For county commissioners, this limit would apply to terms commencing after November 3, 2026, while for district school board members, it would apply to terms beginning on or after November 8, 2022.
The resolution mandates that these amendments be presented to the state's electors for approval or rejection during the next general election or an earlier special election authorized by law. The ballot will include a statement summarizing the proposed changes, emphasizing the introduction of term limits for both county commissioners and school board members, along with the specific applicability of these limits.
