(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 late 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.

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.
