A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa limiting years of service for members of the general assembly and certain statewide elected officials.

HJR 2009 proposes a constitutional amendment limiting lifetime service for specific Iowa elected officials to 24 years total across all covered positions. It would prevent individuals from being elected or appointed to offices including governor, state legislators, attorney general, or statewide executive roles if they have already served 24 years in any combination of those offices. The amendment must first be approved by the next Iowa General Assembly (92nd) before being submitted to voters for ratification. This bill directly affects current and future officeholders in these specific state positions.
