Proposes a constitutional amendment that modifies term limits for members of the general assembly
HJR 104 proposes a constitutional amendment to change Missouri legislators' term limits. It would allow members to serve a maximum of 16 years total across both legislative chambers (House and Senate) after December 5, 2030, with prior service counted. Before that date, the limit would be 8 years in one chamber or 16 years total. The amendment also restricts leadership roles: House Speakers would be limited to three terms, and Senate Presidents Pro Tempore to two terms. This amendment requires voter approval in the 2026 election to take effect.
