- Reduces the total amount of time a person may serve in the state legislature from 14 years to 12 years.
- Allows a person to serve a total of 12 years either in the Assembly, the Senate, or a combination
of both.
- Provides a transition period to allow current members to serve a total of 12 consecutive years in
the house in which they are currently serving, regardless of any prior service in another house.
No direct fiscal effect on state or local
governments.
- A YES vote on this measure means:
- Members of the State
Legislature could serve a
maximum total of 12 years
in office--without regard to
whether the years were served
in the Assembly
or Senate. Some current
Members could serve
more than the 14 total
years now allowed.
- A NO vote on this measure means:
- Members of the State
Legislature could continue to
serve a maximum total of 14
years in office--up to 6 years
in the Assembly and up to 8
years in the Senate.
- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 93:
- Prop. 93 strikes a
reasonable balance
between the need to elect new
people with fresh ideas and
the need for knowledgeable,
experienced legislators
working to protect taxpayers.
Independent studies prove it
will help make our Legislature
more effective, accountable,
and better able to deal with
the complex problems facing
California.

- Summary of Arguments AGAINST Proposition 93:
- Proposition 93 is
a scam written by
politicians and funded by
special interests. It has a
special loophole that benefits
42 termed out incumbent
politicians by giving them
more time in office. It doubles
Assembly terms from 6 to
12 years and increases Senate
terms from 8 to 12 years.
