Summary

The bill limits service in each chamber of the Rhode Island General Assembly to twelve years, counting partial terms longer than one year as a full year. Service in the House and Senate are tracked separately, so a legislator who reaches the limit in one chamber may run for the other. The limits apply only to service after the law takes effect and do not count any prior service.
