Bill > HJ00003

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would establish a twelve-year maximum term limit for state senators, state representatives, and constitutional officers in the state government. Specifically, the amendment would modify two sections of the state constitution - one for legislative positions and another for constitutional officers - to prevent any individual from serving more than twelve years in their respective elected office. The purpose of this resolution is to implement term limits, which are intended to promote regular turnover in elected positions, prevent long-term entrenchment of political leaders, and potentially encourage fresh perspectives and new leadership in state government. By setting a uniform twelve-year limit across different types of elected positions, the resolution seeks to create a consistent approach to managing the duration of public service for state elected officials.
