Term change bill fails in Senate Judiciary


Associated Press

A bill that would limit governors to a single six-year term died in the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday.

Governors now serve four-year terms and can seek a second term.

The bill also would have lengthened legislators' terms by two years. Representatives would serve four years and senators six.

The changes would have taken effect in 2008 if voters approved changing the state Constitution.
