Proposes a constitutional amendment that modifies term limits for members of the general assembly
HJR 149 proposes a constitutional amendment to change Missouri's term limits for state legislators. It would limit service to a maximum of 16 years total across both the House and Senate (current limits are 8 years per house), with service before December 5, 2030, counting toward this total. The bill also restricts leadership roles, capping time as Speaker of the House to three terms and as Senate President Pro Tempore to two terms. This amendment directly affects all current and future Missouri General Assembly members and would require voter approval to take effect.
