2013 House Joint Resolution S

Lengthen term limits

Introduced in the House

April 30, 2013

Introduced by Rep. Andy Schor (D-68)

To place before voters in the next general election a Constitutional amendment to extend the term limits of state representatives and senators, allowing the former up to six terms of two-years each, and the latter up to three terms of four years each. Currently, representatives may only have three two-year terms, and senators two four-year terms. Term limits on legislators and state officers were adopted by a 59-41 percent vote of the people in 1992. The measure would also impose a two-year moratorium on lobbying by a former member of the Michigan House or Senate.

Referred to the Committee on Government Operations
