What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This proposed constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2011 legislature on

first consideration, limits members of the legislature to not more than eight years of

service in the legislature. The limitation begins with service after the first Monday

in January of 2015, so current members of the legislature, if reelected, may continue

to serve until the first Monday in 2023. The eight-year limitation does not include

up to one year of service by a person who is elected to fill a partial term.

A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive

legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
