The bill amends Section 17-2-1 of the General Laws in Chapter 17-2, which pertains to the election and terms of general state officers, including the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and general treasurer. The new provisions stipulate that no person shall be elected to the same general office more than twice. Additionally, if a person has held a general office for more than two years of a term to which another person was elected, they shall be elected to that same general office no more than once. Furthermore, the bill establishes that a person who is ineligible to be elected governor shall not be elected lieutenant governor. This act will take effect upon passage.
