SB1594

Proposing 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 a sixteen-year term limit for members of the Hawaii State Legislature. The amendment aims to balance the powers between the legislative and executive branches by setting legislative term limits longer than the governor's term limit. The proposed change would allow legislators to serve a maximum of sixteen years, regardless of whether the service was in the House of Representatives, the Senate, or both.
