This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Rhode Island State Constitution, specifically Article IV, Section 1, to establish four-year terms for members of the General Assembly, which includes both representatives and senators. The amendment would replace the current two-year term structure with four-year terms, commencing with elections held in 2028. Additionally, it imposes term limits, stating that no member may serve more than three consecutive four-year terms in the General Assembly.

The resolution specifies that representatives and senators shall be elected quadrennially in even-numbered years, on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and shall hold their offices for four years from the first Tuesday of January following their election, until their successors are elected and qualified.

The proposed amendment will be published and submitted to the electorate for approval during the next statewide general election.
