AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution to establish term limits for the governor and lieutenant governor. If approved, the amendment would prohibit individuals from being elected to either office more than twice. The proposed change would be submitted to voters in the 2026 general election with the question: "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to place limits on the number of terms of office that the governor and lieutenant governor may serve beginning in 2026 in order to limit overreaching power by any political party?" Additionally, elections held before 2026 would count toward the term limits.
