Const Amend: Legislative Terms/Compensation
This bill proposes constitutional amendments that would change how the North Carolina General Assembly operates. It would set the salary for legislators to match the average starting salary of public school teachers and align travel and per diem rates with those of state employees. Additionally, it would limit legislators to 16 consecutive years in either the House or Senate and change the term length for Senators from two to four years. Finally, it would limit regular legislative sessions to 120 days in odd-numbered years and 90 days in even-numbered years. These changes would be put to a vote of the people.
