The concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the North Dakota Constitution that establishes term limits for members of the legislative assembly, specifically limiting individuals to no more than four complete four-year terms. Additionally, the resolution seeks to repeal an existing provision that prevents the legislative assembly from proposing amendments related to term limits. If approved, this amendment will be submitted to the voters during the general election in November 2026.
The resolution outlines that the new term limit will apply to individuals elected to the legislative assembly after January 1, 2023. The amendment aims to ensure that no individual can serve more than the specified term limits, thereby promoting turnover and potentially increasing representation within the legislative body. The repeal of the previous prohibition on proposing amendments allows for future legislative flexibility regarding term limits.
