This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Rhode Island State Constitution 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 the elections held in 2028. It also introduces term limits, stipulating 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 they shall hold their offices for four years from the first Tuesday of January following their election until their successors are elected and qualified.

Additionally, the resolution outlines the process for submitting this amendment to the qualified electors of the state for their approval during the next statewide general election. It includes provisions for the publication of the amendment in local newspapers and the necessary steps for organizing town, city, ward, and district meetings to facilitate the voting process.
