AI Generated Summary

This bill, S.F. No. 1437, is a proposal to amend the Minnesota Constitution to set term limits for the office of the governor. If the amendment passes, it will limit the governor to two terms in office. Specifically, it means that once someone has been elected and served as governor twice, they cannot run for this office again. The proposal will be presented to the public for a vote in the 2026 general election. The question on the ballot will ask voters if they agree to amend the Minnesota Constitution to impose these term limits on the governor. The law, if enacted, will also consider elections prior to 2026 to count towards the term limits.
