Introduced Text

Missouri SJR79 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit terms for members of the General Assembly.

Missouri SJR79 seeks to amend the state constitution by repealing the existing term limits and replacing them with new restrictions. Specifically, it prohibits any individual from serving more than twelve years in one house of the General Assembly and more than twenty-four years in both houses combined. The amendment also allows those who served before December 6, 2026, to count their prior service towards the new limits. This change will be put to a vote in the next general election.
