Bill > HB1300

This bill establishes a new provision in North Dakota's legislative term limits law that clarifies when the calculation of years of service for legislative term limits begins. Specifically, the bill states that the time period for counting years of service towards term limits will only start on the date an individual is first elected or appointed to serve in the legislative assembly after January 1, 2023. This means that any previous legislative service before this date will not count towards the constitutional term limit of eight years for representatives and senators. By setting this start date, the bill effectively resets the term limit clock for current and future legislators, giving them a fresh opportunity to serve up to the maximum constitutional limit without being penalized for their prior service before the specified date.
