Statewide Term Limits Passes House Panel

Statewide office holders would join state lawmakers with a maximum of 12 years in office if legislation passed out of House committee today becomes law and is approved by the people of Oklahoma.

Currently, state lawmakers are limited to 12 years in office, and the governor is limited to two, four year terms. Senate Bill 1987, by Rep. Trebor Worthen, would add all statewide elected officials like the lieutenant governor and the state treasurer to the state’s term limits law.
