Kansas SB143 imposes term limits on members of the legislature, prohibiting individuals from being elected if they have already served a certain number of years. An individual may serve up to four years in addition to the initial limit if they win the next primary election with at least 70% of the votes. This applies to both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The bill amends and repeals existing sections of the Kansas Statutes Annotated.
