AN ACT RELATING TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY -- TERM LIMITS FOR MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

HB 7983 would establish a 12-year term limit for all members serving in the state's General Assembly (both House and Senate). This policy change would directly affect current and future legislators by restricting their total service to a maximum of 12 years in the Assembly. The bill's key provision requires members to leave office after reaching this 12-year cumulative service limit, regardless of re-election attempts. It does not apply to members already serving beyond the limit or to other government roles. The bill is currently in the introduction stage, referred to the House State Government & Elections committee.
