This bill proposes a change to the Kentucky Constitution that would set limits on how long someone can serve in the state legislature. Senators would be limited to 4 full terms and House members to 6 full terms, with the limits starting for those elected in November 2028. Because it is a constitutional amendment, Kentucky voters would have the final say on whether to approve or reject the change. Who it may affect: current and future state legislators, and Kentucky voters who would decide whether to ratify the amendment.
