House Joint Resolution 133, sponsored by Salinas, proposes an amendment to Article II, Section 3 of the Tennessee Constitution to establish term limits for members of the General Assembly. The amendment stipulates that no member of the House of Representatives or the Senate may serve more than twelve consecutive years in office. This limitation would take effect for current members at the expiration of their current term.
The resolution calls for the proposed amendment to be referred to the One Hundred Fifteenth General Assembly for consideration and mandates that it be published by the Secretary of State as required by the state constitution. Additionally, the Clerk of the House of Representatives is instructed to deliver a copy of the resolution to the Secretary of State.
