The concurrent resolution proposes amendments to the North Dakota Constitution regarding term limits for members of the legislative assembly and statewide elected officials. Specifically, it establishes that individuals may not serve more than twelve cumulative years in either the House of Representatives or the Senate, with a mandatory four-year break after reaching this limit before they can serve again. Additionally, it sets a twelve-year term limit for statewide elected executive branch officers, excluding the governor and lieutenant governor, who are limited to eight cumulative years. The resolution also repeals a provision that previously prohibited the legislative assembly from proposing amendments related to term limits.

The proposed amendments will be submitted to the qualified electors of North Dakota during the general election in 2026. The resolution outlines that any service in the legislative assembly prior to December 1, 2026, for members elected in 2026, or prior to December 1, 2028, for members elected in 2028, will not count towards the cumulative years of service. Furthermore, any service as a statewide elected official, except for the governor and lieutenant governor, before January 1, 2027, will also be excluded from the cumulative service calculation.
