This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Rhode Island State Constitution, specifically Article IV, Section 1, to allow for four (4) year terms for members of the General Assembly, including both representatives and senators. The proposed change would take effect starting with the elections held in 2028. Under this amendment, representatives and senators would be elected quadrennially in even-numbered years, specifically on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and would serve four-year terms beginning on the first Tuesday of January following their election, until their successors are elected and qualified.

The resolution mandates that this proposed amendment be submitted to the qualified electors of the state for their approval during the next statewide general election. Additionally, it requires the Secretary of State to publish the amendment in state newspapers and ensure that it is included in the notices for town, city, ward, or district meetings, in accordance with existing laws for the election of general officers.
