The resolution proposes an amendment to the West Virginia Constitution that would establish term limits for members of the State Senate and House of Delegates. Specifically, it seeks to limit senators to three consecutive terms and delegates to six consecutive terms, with the new limitations applying only to terms that begin after the amendment is ratified. The resolution outlines the process for submitting this proposed amendment to the voters during the next general election in 2026, and it designates the amendment as "Amendment 1," titled the "State Senate and House of Delegates Term Limits Amendment."

The amendment aims to enhance democratic governance by preventing long-term incumbency in the legislature, thereby encouraging fresh perspectives and new leadership. It clarifies that any terms served prior to the ratification of the amendment will not count towards the term limits, but any partial terms served after ratification will be included in the count. This initiative reflects a legislative effort to promote accountability and responsiveness among elected officials in West Virginia.
