Bill > HJ00015

This resolution proposes an amendment to the state constitution that would establish term limits for the office of Governor. Specifically, the resolution would restrict any individual from being elected Governor more than twice in total. Additionally, the resolution includes a nuanced provision that if a person has served as Governor for more than two years of a term originally meant for another elected official, they would be limited to being elected Governor only one more time. This type of constitutional amendment is designed to prevent long-term incumbency and promote regular leadership changes in the state's executive branch. By limiting the number of terms a Governor can serve, the resolution aims to ensure a more dynamic political environment and provide opportunities for new leadership perspectives.
