Summary

The House Joint Resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow a county sheriff to be elected for up to three back‑to‑back terms. After serving three consecutive terms, the sheriff would be barred from the following term. The change would apply to all current and future sheriffs and could affect election dynamics in every county.
