The House narrowly approved a proposed constitutional amendment that would limit Florida appellate court judges and Supreme Court justices to two full terms, in a move that could serve as a springboard for the initiative in the future.

The proposal (HJR 197) is not expected to gain traction this year in the Senate, where a companion bill (SJR 322) has been stalled since it was filed in September. But the idea, a priority of future House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O’ Lakes, is also unlikely to go away.
