Constitutional amendment proposal to establish term limits for legislators

SF 789 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Minnesota legislators to 10 years total service in either the Senate or House of Representatives during their lifetime. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, the amendment would add a new provision to Article IV, Section 4 of the state constitution, preventing any individual from serving more than 10 years in a single chamber. The bill specifies that terms ending in 2027 or earlier would not count toward this limit. The amendment would require voter approval before taking effect, with the question on the ballot asking whether the constitution should be amended to impose these term limits.
