(North Dakota Monitor) – A bill clarifying the state date for North Dakota’s term limits law failed in the House on a 61-28 vote.
The bill was debated over multiple conference committee meetings in recent days. The Senate version contained a Jan. 1, 2023 start date for the term limits, while the House version advanced a Nov. 7, 2022 start date.
North Dakota voters in 2022 approved a ballot measure that limits lawmakers to serving up to eight years in each chamber.
Previously, Rep. Ben Koppelman, R-West Fargo, chief sponsor of House Bill 1300, said the bill was to provide clarity on the start date for term limits approved by the voters
