Constitutional amendment to change legislative term limits to three consecutive terms
This Nebraska constitutional amendment (LR 27CA) proposes increasing the limit for consecutive service in the state legislature from two to three terms. If approved by voters in 2026, it would amend Article III, Section 12 to allow legislators to serve up to three consecutive terms (previously two), while excluding service before 2001 from counting toward the limit. The bill directly affects all current and future Nebraska state legislators seeking re-election, changing the term limit requirement without altering other eligibility rules. The amendment requires voter approval in the November 2026 general election.
