2014 Senate Joint Resolution GG

Lengthen legislative term limits

Introduced in the Senate

Dec. 10, 2014

Introduced by Sen. Randy Richardville (R-17)

To place before voters in the next general election a Constitutional amendment to extend legislative term limits to 12 years in any combination of House or Senate terms. Under Michigan’s current term limits representatives may only get three terms of two-years each, and senators may only get two terms of four-years each. To qualify for the additional terms a politician would have to get ballot access petition signature equal to 25 percent of the number of persons voting in the last gubernatorial election.

Referred to the Committee of the Whole
