Bill > HJ00024

This resolution proposes an amendment to the state constitution that would establish term limits for state legislators and top executive officials. Specifically, the amendment would restrict members of the General Assembly (the state legislature) to a maximum of eight total terms in either the upper or lower chamber, preventing long-term incumbency. Additionally, the resolution would limit individuals to no more than three total terms as Governor or Lieutenant Governor. By implementing these term limits, the resolution aims to promote legislative and executive turnover, potentially bringing new perspectives and preventing the entrenchment of political power. The proposed constitutional amendment would fundamentally change the current rules governing how long elected officials can serve in these state-level positions, creating a structured approach to political office tenure.
