Imposing limit of three terms on elected public officials in state

Senate Bill 566 (SB 566) would limit elected state officials in West Virginia to three consecutive terms in office. The bill applies to officials elected to positions covered under sections §3-1-16, §3-1-17, and §3-1-18 of the West Virginia Code, such as state legislators and certain executive roles. It prohibits any person from serving more than three consecutive terms for the same office, though it does not restrict partial terms filled by appointment. This change would directly affect current and future candidates for these specific state offices by imposing a term limit.
