Bill > HB626

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to the State of Hawaii to limit the terms of members of the state legislature to a maximum of 12 years in the House of Representatives or Senate, or both, for terms beginning on or after the 2024 general election. The bill includes a grandfather clause to avoid disproportionately affecting legislators who have already exceeded the proposed 12-year limit. The purpose is to address public concerns about career politicians and issues of corruption, while maintaining fairness and equity between the legislative and executive branches of government.
