Bill > HB831

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to establish legislative term limits in Hawaii. Specifically, it would limit members of the Hawaii State Legislature to a maximum of 16 years in the House of Representatives or Senate, or both, for terms beginning after the 2024 general election. This is intended to maintain a balance of powers between the legislative and executive branches, as the Governor of Hawaii is subject to a term limit of 8 years (two consecutive full terms). The bill includes the proposed ballot question and details on the constitutional changes required for this amendment to take effect.
