General Assembly - Term Limits
HB 1099 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Maryland General Assembly members to serving a maximum of four terms. It would make legislators ineligible for re-election after four full terms, with terms served before the 2030 gubernatorial election not counting toward this limit. Partial terms exceeding two years would count as a full term for the limit calculation. The amendment requires voter approval in the November 2026 election to take effect. This directly affects all current and future state legislators in Maryland.
