Term limits placed on legislators and executive officers, and constitutional amendment proposed.
HF 3208 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit terms for Minnesota legislators and certain executive officers. It would restrict House members to four terms (each two years), senators to three terms (each four years), and governors, lieutenant governors, and statewide executive officers (secretary of state, attorney general, state auditor) to two terms each. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, these limits would apply to future elections but not affect current officeholders or terms ending before 2027. The amendment would change the state constitution’s term limit provisions for these offices.
