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.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous cutoff date of November 7, 2022, for when the calculation of service years would commence. This change aims to ensure that only those elected or appointed after the new date will have their years of service counted towards the term limits, thereby impacting future legislative sessions and the composition of the assembly.
