In 15 state legislatures, country legislators are subject to term limits. Voters in six additional states voted to have term limits, only to accept those votes nullified. In two cases, the land legislature voted to nullify the limits imposed by voters, while in iv other states, courts nullified the voter-imposed limits, primarily for technical reasons.

Lifetime versus sequent
Legislative term limits can be either lifetime or consecutive. In the ten states where the limits are sequent, once a state legislator has served the maximum number of terms in role, he or she, if eligible, can run for office for the land'south other legislative chamber, or leave the legislature. These states are Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, and S Dakota. After a period of time no longer in function in a particular legislative chamber, nevertheless, the legislator is immune to run again for part in that legislative chamber. The menstruation of time that a legislator must be out of part before existence able to run again is usually two years.
In five of the fifteen states with limits on land legislators, the limit is a lifetime limit. These states are California, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, and Oklahoma. In these states, once a legislator has served the maximum allowable number of terms in a particular legislative chamber, they may never again run for or hold function in that detail bedchamber.[1]
