Bill Summary

Imposing a limit of four on the number of terms a person may serve in the General Assembly; providing that a certain term limit does not apply to terms that began before the 2030 gubernatorial election; and specifying how service for a partial term shall be considered for purposes of the term limits.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the Maryland Constitution to impose a limit of four terms on service in the General Assembly, meaning a legislator can serve a maximum of four terms. Importantly, this term limit will not apply to any terms that began before the 2030 gubernatorial election, providing a grace period for current legislators. The bill also clarifies how partial terms are counted: serving two or more years of a term to which someone else was elected will count as a full term towards the limit. The General Assembly is the legislative body of Maryland, composed of the Senate and the House of Delegates.
