Bill > HJ00008

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to extend the term of office for members of the state legislature (General Assembly) from two years to four years. Currently, state legislators serve two-year terms, and this amendment would double the length of time elected officials can serve before needing to be re-elected. By increasing legislative terms from two to four years, the proposal aims to potentially provide more stability and continuity in state government, allowing legislators more time to develop and implement policy initiatives without the frequent interruption of electoral campaigns. The resolution would require a constitutional amendment, which typically means it must be approved by a vote of the state's residents in addition to passing through the legislative body.
