Imposes term limits on members of the legislature
Bill A 6527 would amend the state constitution to limit legislators to six consecutive terms in either the Senate or Assembly. It directly affects all current and future state legislators in both chambers, preventing any individual from serving more than six consecutive terms in the same house. The bill establishes a clear, fixed term limit without exceptions for existing members, applying equally to both the Senate and Assembly. This constitutional change would take effect after the next general election, as specified in the bill's text.
