On June 16, the New York Assembly passed A1224 by 135-11. It says that when term limits already exist in any local government, if the elected officials of that local government pass a bill or resolution to repeal term limits on themselves, the repeal won’t go into effect unless the voters also approve the repeal.
The bill, if signed into law, would not be retroactive. However, if such a bill had been part of the state election law last year, New York City would have been forced to hold a new referendum on repealing term limits for Mayor and City Council.
