Proposal to Amend Utah Constitution - Term of Office

HJR 3 proposes amending the Utah Constitution to limit state elected officials to a maximum of eight cumulative years in office. This applies to all state elected positions covered by Articles VI and VII, including legislators (House and Senate), governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, state auditor, and state treasurer. The eight-year limit would apply to service beginning January 1, 2027, with specific rules for calculating service time, excluding mid-term vacancy appointments, and allowing temporary exceptions during disasters. The resolution requires voter approval and sets a contingent effective date of January 1, 2027.
