Proposition Summary

CONGRESSIONAL TERM LIMITS. INITIATIVE STATUTE. • Excludes from ballot for United States House of Representatives any person who has represented California congressional district(s) as member of the House during six or more of previous eleven years. • Excludes from ballot for United States Senate any person who has represented California as Senator during twelve or more of previous seventeen years. • Congressional service prior to 1993 is not counted. • Full current and previous terms are counted even if person resigned during term. • Term limits do not restrict "write-in" candidacies. Summary of Legislative Analyst's Estimate of Net State and Local Government Fiscal Impact: • This measure would have no direct fiscal impact on state or local governments. • However, to the extent that the measure results in more write-in candidates, counties would have additional elections-related costs for counting write-in votes. These costs probably would not be significant on a statewide basis.
