Bill > HB1703

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to the State of Hawaii to establish term limits for legislators. It would limit members of the state legislature to a maximum of 12 years of service, either in the House of Representatives or the Senate, or a combination of both, for terms beginning on or after the 2024 general election. The bill includes a grandfather clause to not disqualify those legislators who have already exceeded the proposed 12-year limit. The purpose of this amendment is to address concerns about career politicians and public corruption, and align Hawaii with at least 15 other states that have similar term limit policies.
