The proposed concurrent resolution aims to amend the Constitution of North Dakota by establishing term limits for various elected 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, and no more than three terms in the house of representatives or senate. Additionally, it sets a three-term limit for statewide elected officials such as the attorney general and secretary of state. Importantly, any prior service before the 2018 general election will not count towards these new term limits.

The resolution also includes the repeal of conflicting sections of Article XV of the North Dakota Constitution, which previously addressed cumulative term limits and legislative authority regarding term limits. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, the changes will take effect on January 1, 2027. The measure emphasizes that if any part of the new article is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still stand, ensuring the overall intent of the resolution is preserved.
