This bill proposes to amend the North Dakota Century Code by creating a new section in chapter 54-03 that establishes term limits for members of the legislative assembly. Specifically, it clarifies the calculation of years of service for these members, stating that the time for this calculation will not begin until an individual is first elected or appointed to the legislative assembly after January 1, 2023.

The bill also removes the previous cutoff date of November 7, 2022, which means that any service prior to January 1, 2023, will not count towards the term limits. This change aims to provide a clear starting point for determining the length of service for legislative members, thereby ensuring that the term limits are applied consistently and fairly.
