A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa limiting years of service for members of the general assembly.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment for Iowa that would limit consecutive service for state legislators. It would prevent anyone first elected to the Iowa General Assembly after 2028 from serving more than 12 consecutive years in either the House or Senate, and require a mandatory two-year break after reaching that limit. The amendment applies only to legislators first elected for terms beginning January 1, 2029, or later. If adopted by the next legislature and approved by voters, it would change the state constitution to impose this term limit.
