Ohio Proposal Setting 16-Year Term Limits On Legislators Clears First Hurdle

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A proposed constitutional amendment that would set 16-year term limits on legislators serving in the Ohio House or Senate cleared its initial hurdle.
Ohioans for Legislative Term Limits is the group seeking to close a loophole that’s allowed multiple legislators to jump back and forth between the House and Senate after reaching the current eight-year limit in one or the other chamber.
The group’s goal is to place the amendment on the Nov. 3 ballot.
