This bill would extend the term of office for city council members in Kentucky cities with populations of 12,000 or more from their current length to four years. It also includes transition rules to move current members to the new, longer terms. Longer terms would mean less frequent elections for these seats in larger cities. Who it may affect: residents and voters in Kentucky cities with populations of 12,000 or more, and city council members in those communities.
