(North Dakota Monitor) – The North Dakota Supreme Court has decided to hear a lawsuit over a ballot measure that would change voter-approved legislative term limits.

The suit, filed in January, alleges that the Legislature violated the state constitution when it passed a resolution creating the ballot measure during the 2025 session.

The high court will consider the case during its April term, according to a notice filed.

The ballot measure seeks to alter the 2022 constitutional amendment that established legislative term limits. However, that article contains a provision that specifically says the Legislature may not propose further constitutional amendments to “alter or repeal” those term limits.
