Summary

SJR 79 - This constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, would increase term limits for members of the General Assembly from 8 years total in each chamber to 12 years total in each chamber. Any person who served in the General Assembly prior to the adoption of this amendment may serve up to 12 years total in each chamber, counting all service prior to the adoption of the amendment. This constitutional amendment is identical to SJR 39 (2025), SJR 69 (2024), SJR 23 (2023), and SJR 49 (2022) and substantially similar to SJR 36 (2022). SCOTT SVAGERA
