Bill Summary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY proposing an amendment to section 1 of article 4 of the constitution, in relation to term limits for the office of governor; and proposing an amendment to section 2 of article 3 of the constitution, in relation to limiting the terms of office as a member of the legislature any person may serve
AI Summary
This bill proposes amendments to the state constitution to establish term limits for the governor and members of the legislature, and to change the term length for legislators. Specifically, it would limit the governor to serving no more than three four-year terms, and it would extend the term for both senators and assembly members from two years to four years, while also limiting them to serving no more than three four-year terms. These changes are being proposed as a concurrent resolution, meaning they must be approved by both houses of the legislature and then potentially by voters in a future election to become law.
