HB764

Proposing an amendment to the Hawaii Constitution to establish term limits for state legislators.

This bill proposes an amendment to Article III, Section 4, of the Hawaii Constitution to limit the terms of state legislators. The amendment would apply to terms beginning after the 2028 general election, allowing legislators to serve only a set number of terms as provided by law. The amendment will be presented to voters in a ballot question asking if they support limiting the terms of Hawaii state legislators. The proposed change aims to address the longstanding call for term limits among Hawaii voters, as indicated by a 2018 poll.
