Summary

The resolution would add a new constitutional article that prevents anyone from being elected or appointed to the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, secretary of agriculture, auditor, treasurer, attorney general, or a member of the Iowa House or Senate if they have already served a total of 24 years in any of those positions. The limit applies to combined service across offices, not just a single post. If passed, the amendment would go to voters after being approved by the next elected General Assembly.
