This bill creates an optional process whereby cities of the third classification can impose term limits on mayors and members of the city council.
The governing body of the city can adopt an order, ordinance, or resolution submitting the question of whether to adopt term limits to the voters of the city.
Voters can also petition the governing body of the city to adopt term limits. If a petition receives signatures from 10% of the registered voters of the city that voted in the last election for mayor, the governing body must submit the question of whether to adopt term limits to the voters of the city.
The term limits provided by the bill are four terms for members of the city council, and two terms for the mayor.
