Term Limits for Members of Boards of County Commissioners and District School Boards; Proposes amendments to State Constitution to provide term limits for members of boards of county commissioners & district school boards & to allow for subsequent election or re-election after specified period.
Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDCounty commissioners and school board members face a 12-year consecutive service limit. After reaching that threshold, they cannot appear on the ballot for another term. This restriction applies to all members of these local governing bodies.
A four-year waiting period follows the 12-year limit. Individuals must wait four years after their last term expires before they can run again. This prevents immediate re-election after hitting the cap.
The bill includes a specific exception for county-wide offices. A term-limited commissioner can still run for chairperson or county mayor if the county charter allows county-wide elections. This exception does not apply to school board members.
AIAdds a 12-year consecutive service limit for county commissioners, requiring a 4-year waiting period before they can run for the same office again.
AIAdds a 12-year consecutive service limit for district school board members, requiring a 4-year waiting period before they can run for the same office again.
AIAllows a term-limited county commissioner to run for a county-wide elected position, such as chairperson or county mayor, without waiting the 4-year period.
