A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa limiting years of service for members of the general assembly.

Iowa Senate Joint Resolution 10 (SJR10) is a proposal to amend the Iowa Constitution to set term limits for state legislators. Specifically, it aims to restrict the number of years a person can serve in the Iowa General Assembly, which includes both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The resolution was introduced on March 5, 2025, and referred to the Senate State Government Committee. A subcommittee consisting of Senators Rozenboom, Schultz, and Townsend was assigned to review it on March 11, 2025. The bill is sponsored by six Democratic senators: Sarah Trone Garriott, Zach Wahls, Mike Zimmer, Molly Donahue, Matt Blake, and Thomas Townsend.

Supporters of SJR10 argue that implementing term limits would promote fresh ideas and perspectives within the legislature, reduce the potential for entrenched political power, and increase opportunities for new candidates to serve. They believe that limiting the number of years legislators can serve will lead to a more dynamic and responsive government.

Opponents of SJR10 contend that term limits could lead to a loss of experienced lawmakers who possess valuable institutional knowledge. They argue that such limits may result in a less effective legislature and increase the influence of lobbyists and unelected officials, as inexperienced legislators may rely more heavily on external guidance.
