This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change Nebraska's legislative term limits from two to three consecutive terms for state legislators. If approved by voters, it would amend Article III, Section 12 of the Nebraska Constitution to allow members to serve up to three consecutive terms (instead of two) in the Legislature. Key provisions include counting service beyond half a term as a full term and excluding pre-2001 service toward the limit. The amendment must be approved by voters in the November 2026 general election to take effect.
