The proposed concurrent resolution seeks to amend the Constitution of North Dakota by establishing term limits for various state officials, including the governor, lieutenant governor, statewide elected officials, and members of the legislative assembly. Specifically, it stipulates that individuals may not serve more than two terms as governor or lieutenant governor, three terms in other statewide offices, and four complete four-year terms in the legislative assembly. Importantly, any prior service before the 2022 general election will not count towards these new term limits. The resolution also aims to repeal existing provisions in Article XV of the Constitution that relate to cumulative term limits and legislative authority regarding term limits.

If approved, the changes outlined in the resolution will take effect on January 1, 2027, and will be submitted to the qualified electors of North Dakota during the general election in 2026. The resolution emphasizes that any conflicting provisions in the Constitution will be overridden by the new article, ensuring clarity and consistency in the application of these term limits.
