Proposal for a legislative amendment to the Constitution for term renewal process

This bill (SD 1285) is a proposed constitutional amendment submitted to the legislature, specifically addressing the process for renewing legislative terms. It does not change current election rules but proposes a formal amendment to the state constitution regarding how legislators' terms are renewed. The proposal, introduced by Senator Lewis on behalf of Vincent Dixon, is currently under review by the Judiciary Committee. As a constitutional amendment proposal, it requires specific legislative approval steps before it could become law, and it does not yet affect any current term limits or procedures.
