AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution to establish term limits for the governor and lieutenant governor. If adopted, the amendment would prohibit any individual from being elected more than twice to either office. The amendment would be placed on the ballot for the 2026 general election, allowing voters to decide the issue. If approved, the term limits would take effect beginning in 2030, meaning elections prior to that year would not count toward the new restrictions.
