The resolution proposes an amendment to the West Virginia State Constitution that would establish a term limit of 12 consecutive years for elected members of the House of Delegates and the Senate. This limit would apply to a total of six elections for the House and three for the Senate. If a legislator reaches the 12-year limit in one chamber, they would be ineligible for re-election to that chamber until one full election cycle has passed. However, they could still run for election in the other chamber or for other elected positions outside the legislature. The accumulation of time towards this limit would begin on January 1, 2030, and any breaks in service during that period would reset the accumulated time.

The resolution further stipulates that the proposed amendment, designated as "Amendment No. 1" and referred to as the "Term Limit Amendment," will be submitted to voters during the general election in 2028. The purpose of the amendment is to create a clear term limit for legislators, thereby promoting turnover and potentially increasing opportunities for new candidates in West Virginia's legislative chambers.
