COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "Do Pass" by the Standing Committee on Elections and Elected Officials by a vote of 8 to 2.
Upon voter approval, this proposed Constitutional amendment would limit service in the General Assembly for members elected on or after November 8, 2022, to 12 years total in any proportion between the two houses of the General Assembly. An existing exemption for service of less than one year for House members, or less than two years for Senate members, serving the term of another person is maintained.
PROPONENTS: Supporters say that the resolution is a reasonable compromise that will help retain experienced state officials and employees in their positions and increase institutional knowledge.
