Description

Amends the Constitution to change the term limits of state legislators. A person who has served 16 or more years shall not be eligible for reelection until 4 years after the expiration of their last term. A person first elected to the General Assembly on or after January 1, 2021 shall not serve more than 12 consecutive years. After January 1, 2021, if a person serves 12 years, they are not eligible for reelection until 4 years after the expiration of their last term in office. Consecutive service in both the Senate and the House are added together to determine the total number of consecutive years served. A partial legislative term served as a result of a special election is not included in calculating the total number of consecutive years served by a legislator first elected after January 1, 2021.
