Bill > A04651

This bill amends New York's legislative law to establish term limits for members of both the Assembly and the Senate, meaning that legislators will be restricted in how long they can serve. Specifically, a member of the legislature, which refers to elected officials in the New York State Assembly and Senate, will be prohibited from serving more than six two-year terms in either the Assembly or the Senate, and in no case can a legislator serve more than a total of twelve years in either chamber. This change is set to take effect on January 1, 2019.
