The joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Iowa Constitution that would impose term limits on members of the general assembly. Specifically, it seeks to repeal and replace existing sections of Article III, establishing that individuals first elected to the Iowa House of Representatives or Senate on or after January 1, 2029, cannot serve more than twelve consecutive years in the general assembly. Furthermore, after reaching this twelve-year limit, they would be ineligible for election to the assembly for the following two years.

If the resolution is adopted, it will be referred to the next general assembly for consideration and must be published for three months prior to the next general election. The proposed amendment aims to promote turnover and fresh perspectives within the legislative body by limiting the duration of service for its members.
