Proposed constitutional amendments to limit terms for Mississippi House and Senate members.

The bill proposes amendments to the Mississippi Constitution to limit the terms of office for members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Specifically, it would prevent individuals from serving more than three consecutive four-year terms in either the House or Senate, with these term limits applying to terms beginning on or after July 1, 2026. The proposed changes aim to ensure that legislators do not serve indefinitely, promoting a turnover in leadership and potentially new perspectives in the state legislature.
