Bill > LR19CA

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to change the term limits for Nebraska state legislators from two consecutive terms to three consecutive terms. Specifically, the amendment would modify Article III, section 12 of the Nebraska Constitution to allow legislators to serve up to three consecutive four-year terms before being ineligible to serve for the next four years. The proposed change would not count legislative service prior to January 1, 2001, when calculating consecutive terms, and any service of more than one-half of a term would be considered a full term. The amendment would be submitted to Nebraska voters for approval or rejection during the general election in November 2026, with ballot language clearly stating the proposed change from two to three consecutive terms. If approved by voters, this would provide state legislators with an additional term of potential service before being required to step down.
