SC 516 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Constitution; place term limits on legislators.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Mississippi legislators to two consecutive terms in either the House or Senate. After serving two terms in one chamber, a legislator must wait four years before running for the other chamber, with a lifetime cap of 16 total years across both chambers. It directly affects current and future state representatives and senators by restricting their service duration. The amendment was proposed for a 2025 voter referendum but died in committee in February 2025.
