AI Summary

  • Limits members of the Maryland General Assembly to four terms (16 years), after which they become ineligible for further election to either chamber
  • Terms served before the 2030 gubernatorial election do not count toward the limit, allowing current long-serving members to reset their count
  • Serving two or more years of another person's term (filling a vacancy) counts as a full term toward the limit
  • Requires three-fifths approval in both legislative chambers to pass, as it proposes a constitutional amendment
