Proposes a constitutional amendment that modifies term limits for members of the general assembly
HJR 15 proposes a constitutional amendment to modify Missouri's term limits for state legislators. It would limit total service in the General Assembly to sixteen years across both houses (maintaining the current cap but counting pre-December 3, 2026, service toward it) and restrict leaders to three terms as House Speaker or two terms as Senate President Pro Tempore. The amendment requires voter approval after passing the legislature, with the official summary stating it would "prohibit legislators from serving more than sixteen years total in both houses" and limit leadership terms. This change directly affects current and future Missouri legislators, altering their eligibility for re-election and leadership roles.
