RECENT TRENDS - TERM LIMIT PROPOSALS <br /> <br />I have looked at some recent proposals for establishing or revising term limit provisions in <br />various entities throughout the State. The current trend seems to be three four year terms. <br />Following are some examples and the status of each proposal. <br /> <br />State of California Leoislature - there was a proposal for the 2006 General Election that would <br />have allowed legislators in both houses to serve a total of 12 years in either house. The <br />proposal was linked to redistricting reform and was not placed on the ballot. It is anticipated that <br />a proposal for changes in Legislature term limits will be submitted to the voters at the 2008 <br />Presidential Primary Election in February, 2008. <br /> <br />Countv of Oranoe - there are nine counties, including Orange County, in California that <br />currently have term limits. The term limit for the O.C. Supervisors is two consecutive four year <br />terms. There was a proposal to amend that limit to allow supervisors to serve three - four year <br /> <br />2 <br />65A-2 <br />
