Constitution; amend to provide terms limits for members of the MS House of Representatives and MS Senate.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Mississippi state legislators to three consecutive four-year terms in either the House of Representatives or Senate. It would prevent any member elected after July 1, 2026, from seeking re-election after serving three full terms in their chamber. The amendment applies only to future officeholders, not current members, and would require voter approval in the November 2026 election. If passed, it would change the Mississippi Constitution by adding term limits to Sections 34 (House) and 35 (Senate), with the new rules taking effect for terms beginning after July 2026.
