The resolution proposes an amendment to the South Dakota Constitution that would limit the number of consecutive terms an individual can serve in the Legislature. Specifically, it seeks to restrict members of both the Senate and the House of Representatives to a maximum of four consecutive terms or a total of eight consecutive years in office. Additionally, it clarifies that any partial terms served due to appointment will not count towards this limit.

The amendment will be presented to voters at the next general election for approval. It also reaffirms that the terms of office for legislators will remain two years, with compensation for their service and travel expenses as previously established. The resolution aims to promote legislative turnover and prevent long-term incumbency in the state legislature.
