Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the legislative law, in relation to imposing term limits for members of the assembly and senate of the state of New York
Purpose
Imposes term limits for members of the assembly and senate of New York.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: Adding a new section 2-a.
Section 2: Establishes the effective date at January 1, 2019.
Justification
It is important that members of the legislature stay in touch with their constituent's issues and needs rather than promoting policies that will help to extend their tenure in the legislature. By establishing term limits it prevents legislative members from becoming a 'career politician' and losing touch with the needs of their district.
Legislative history
This is a new bill.
Fiscal implications
