Const Amend: Legislative Terms/Compensation.

SB 462 is a proposed constitutional amendment that, if approved by North Carolina voters in 2026, would set legislative salaries equal to the average public school teacher salary and align travel, subsistence, and per diem rates with state employee standards. It would also limit members of the General Assembly to 16 consecutive years in either chamber and restrict regular legislative sessions to 120 days in odd-numbered years and 90 days in even-numbered years (with limited extensions). These changes would directly affect all members of the North Carolina General Assembly by altering their compensation, term limits, and session duration. The bill requires a statewide referendum on November 3, 2026, to take effect, with separate votes for each provision.
