LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – According to our media partners at MIRS News, the Michigan Supreme Court is allowing to go on the November ballot a constitutional amendment to change the term limits law from three two-year House terms and two four-year Senate terms to a combined 12 years in the Legislature. The proposal will be known as Proposal 1.

The lawsuit argued the language of Proposal 22-1 related to two purposes – term limits and financial disclosures by legislators. They further alleged that the language as written by Elections Director Jonathan Brater obscures the true nature of the constitutional change.

The Board of State Canvassers approved Brater’s written summary. It states the proposed constitutional amendment would replace current term limits for lawmakers with a 12-year total limit in any combination between the two chambers, except a person elected to the Senate in November can be elected as allowed when he or she became a candidate.
