AI Summary

This bill, amending West Virginia Code section 3-1-18a, establishes term limits for elected public officials in the state, preventing any individual from serving more than three consecutive terms in the same office. The referenced sections of the code, §3-1-16, §3-1-17, and §3-1-18, likely pertain to the election processes for various state offices. Importantly, this restriction on consecutive terms does not apply to any partial terms an official might serve if appointed to fill a vacancy.
