HB 301 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for terms of members.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Pennsylvania's Constitution that would establish term limits for state legislators. It would limit senators to three consecutive terms (12 years total) and representatives to six consecutive terms (12 years total), with both required to wait four years after serving the maximum terms before running again. The amendment would amend Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution and requires two legislative passages followed by voter approval at the next qualifying election. This is a procedural constitutional amendment proposal, not an enacted law, and would directly affect current and future members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly.
