Proposes amendment to State Constitution to limit members of Senate to three successive terms and members of General Assembly to five successive terms.
ACR 82 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit New Jersey state legislators' service terms. It would restrict Senate members to three consecutive terms (12 years total) and General Assembly members to five consecutive terms (10 years total), requiring them to take at least one intervening term off before running again. This change would apply to legislators elected starting with the 2011 general election, replacing the current system with no term limits. The amendment must be approved by voters in a future general election to take effect.
