SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Constitutional amendments (first reference); General Assembly and local elected officials; term limits. Limits members of the Senate to three consecutive terms and members of the House of Delegates to six consecutive terms. The amendments provide that the limits apply to terms of service beginning on and after the start of the 2026 Regular Session of the General Assembly. The amendments also limit officials elected to any county, city, town, or constitutional office to three consecutive terms, except for persons elected to the office of the clerk of the court, who are limited to two consecutive terms. These limits apply to terms of service in county, city, town, and constitutional offices beginning on and after January 1, 2026. Both amendments provide that service for a partial term does not preclude serving the allowed number of full terms.
