PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE III, SECTION 4, OF THE HAWAII STATE CONSTITUTION TO ESTABLISH LEGISLATIVE TERM LIMITS.

SB 1594 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit state legislators in Hawaii to a maximum of 16 years of service in the Legislature. This would directly affect current and future members of the Hawaii House of Representatives and Senate. The bill would amend Article III, Section 4 of the state constitution to establish this term limit, requiring voter approval for implementation. If passed by the Legislature and approved by voters, it would change how long representatives can serve, but the bill is currently in early stages (introduced and passed first reading in January 2025).
