Constitutional Amendment to Modify Legislative Term Limits
Plain-English Summary
This measure proposes a constitutional amendment to change the existing legislative term limits in North Dakota. It seeks to allow state lawmakers to serve up to 16 years in either the House or Senate, and to exclude partial terms from counting against these limits. The proposal is currently facing a lawsuit challenging its legality.
What each outcome does
If this measure passes, state lawmakers would be able to serve up to 16 years in either the House or Senate, and partial terms would not count against their term limits.
If this measure fails, the current term limits established by Article XV in 2022 would remain in effect, stipulating that state lawmakers can serve no more than eight years in the House and eight years in the Senate.
