HF 1785 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Term limits for governor and lieutenant governor provided, and constitutional amendment proposed.

HF 1785 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Minnesota governors and lieutenant governors to two terms each. If approved by voters in 2026, the amendment would change the state constitution to state that no person may be elected governor or lieutenant governor more than twice. The bill requires the amendment to be submitted to voters in the 2026 general election with a specific ballot question asking whether term limits should be added. This change would apply to all future elections starting in 2026, affecting all future governors and lieutenant governors.
