Term limits measure makes state ballot

By a margin of 957 signatures, the term limits initiative has secured enough support to be placed on the Feb. 5 ballot, according to the secretary of state. Sacramento Bee.

Supporters of the term limits measure received a total of 764,747 projected valid signatures. They needed 763,790 projected valid signatures to qualify in a random sample count.

The initiative would reduce the total number of years that a lawmaker could serve in the Legislature from 14 to 12, but it would allow all of those years to be served in the Assembly, Senate or a combination of both.
