Bill > S06117

This bill proposes to amend the New York State Constitution to increase the length of the term of office for members of the legislature from two years to four years, and to impose term limits of three consecutive four-year terms. Specifically, the bill states that senators and assembly members elected in 2022 and subsequent years will serve four-year terms, rather than the current two-year terms. The bill also includes a provision that no person elected to the state Senate or Assembly in 2022 or later can serve more than three consecutive four-year terms. This change would need to be approved by the New York State Legislature and then voted on by the public in a referendum.
