HB 3068 limits the total service time for certain state government leaders to 12 years. It applies to cabinet secretaries appointed by the governor and executive directors (or equivalent leaders) of state agencies within the executive branch. The bill establishes that years served in either role count toward the 12-year maximum, meaning combined service as a cabinet secretary or agency director cannot exceed this period. The law takes effect on November 1, 2026.
