Summary
The resolution changes the state constitution so a sheriff who serves two back‑to‑back terms cannot run for the next term, while allowing a sheriff appointed to finish a term of less than two years to be eligible for two consecutive elected terms afterward. It affects current and future county sheriffs and clarifies succession rules, aiming to prevent long‑term incumbency while preserving opportunities for interim appointees.
