Constitution; members of Legislature for the first time after January 1, 2027 not eligible to serve again after three terms.

Summary

The resolution would amend the state constitution so that any person first elected to the Mississippi House or Senate on or after Jan. 1, 2027 can serve no more than three full terms in that chamber. It still permits incumbents to run for successive terms, and time served filling a vacancy of less than two years does not count toward the limit. The change would be placed on the 2026 ballot but the measure died in committee.
