Florida Term Limits Amendment

The Florida Term Limits Amendment limits state legislators—both state senators and representatives—to serving a maximum of eight consecutive years in office. This means that once they reach the eight-year limit, they must leave their position but may be eligible to run again after sitting out for a period. The goal is to promote fresh ideas and prevent career politicians from holding office indefinitely. The amendment was approved by voters to ensure regular turnover and to encourage new leadership within Florida’s state government.
