A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Section 2 of, and adding Section 2.5 to, Article IV thereof, and by amending Section 7 of Article XX thereof, relating to the Legislature.

Existing provisions of the California Constitution prohibit a Senator from serving more than 2 terms of 4 years each and a Member of the Assembly from serving more than 3 terms of 2 years each. This measure would instead prohibit a person who is first elected as a Member of the Legislature on or after November 2, 2010, from serving, during his or her lifetime, more than 12 years in the Senate, the Assembly, or both, in any combination.
