The proposed concurrent resolution aims 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 seeks 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 in the event of any conflict between the new provisions and existing constitutional provisions, the new article will take precedence. This measure reflects a significant shift in the governance structure of North Dakota, aiming to promote political turnover and limit the duration of service for key state officials.
