Introduced by Rep. Lee Gonzales (D-49)

To place before voters in the next general election a Constitutional amendment to repeal legislative term limits and replace the current full time legislature with a part time legislature that would meet for not more than 120 consecutive days each year, unless recalled for an extraordinary session by the unanimous consent of the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate. Under Michigan’s current term limits representatives may only serve three terms of two-years each, and senators may only serve two terms of four-years each.

Referred to the Committee on Government Operations
