Modifies term limits for members of the General Assembly

SJR 97 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would change Missouri's term limits for state legislators. It replaces the current rule (limiting service to eight years in one house or sixteen total across both houses) with a new limit of sixteen years total in both houses, effective December 3, 2026. This change would count all prior service since December 3, 2026, toward the new 16-year total, affecting all current and future members of Missouri's General Assembly. The amendment requires voter approval in the 2026 election to take effect.
