Proposes an amendment to the Hawaii State Constitution to limit legislative terms to sixteen years.
This bill proposes an amendment to Article III, Section 4, of the Hawaii State Constitution to establish term limits for state legislators. Members of the legislature would be limited to serving a total of sixteen years, regardless of whether the years were served entirely in the house of representatives or in the senate, or partially in both. The amendment would ensure that legislative term limits are longer than the governor's term limit to maintain a balance of powers between the legislative and executive branches.
