Term Limits: Proposes an amendment to s. 4, Art. VI and the creation of s. 26, Art. XII of the State Constitution to increase, from 8 to 12, the number of consecutive years a state legislator or any Cabinet officer may serve in that office before being denied the right to have his or her name appear on the ballot for re-election to that office; applies to those officers whose consecutive years in office begin in November 2004 or thereafter; removes provisions that apply term limits by means of ballot access to members of Congress, which the United States Supreme Court has determined violate the Federal Constitution.
