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 Hawaii legislators to a maximum of 16 years of total service in the state Legislature. If enacted, this would affect all current and future members of the Hawaii Legislature by restricting their cumulative time in office. The bill does not change current term limits but would establish a lifetime cap on service through a constitutional amendment. This is a procedural proposal currently in committee review for the 2026 session.
