The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the Constitution of the State of Iowa by instituting lifetime term limits for certain elected officials. Specifically, it stipulates that individuals cannot be elected or appointed to the offices of governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, secretary of agriculture, auditor of state, treasurer of state, attorney general, or as a member of the general assembly if they have already served a cumulative total of 24 years in any combination of these positions prior to the start of a new term.

If the resolution is approved, it will be referred to the next general assembly for consideration and must be published for three months before being presented to the electorate for ratification. This amendment aims to promote turnover and limit the duration of service for key state officials, thereby encouraging fresh perspectives in Iowa's governance.
