Modifies legislator term limits

Upon voter approval, this proposed constitutional amendment prohibits a person from serving more than 16 years in the General Assembly. The service may be split between the House of Representatives and the Senate in any proportion as long as the individual serves no more than 16 years total. Currently, no one can serve more than eight years in any one house of the General Assembly or more than 16 years in both houses.
