AI Summary

  • Proposes an amendment to the Florida State Constitution (Article IX, Section 4) to impose term limits on district school board members
  • Prohibits a school board member from appearing on the ballot for reelection if they will have served 8 consecutive years in that office by the end of their current term
  • Resignation does not reset the term limit; years that would have been served but for resignation still count toward the 8-year cap
  • Only terms of office beginning on or after November 8, 2022, count toward the limitation, exempting prior service
  • Requires submission to Florida voters for approval or rejection at the next general election or an earlier specially authorized election
