On June 5, California voters will consider Proposition 28, which would change term limits for California legislators. When term limits were imposed in 1990, it allowed lawmakers to serve three two-year terms in the Assembly and two eight-year terms in the state Senate - a total of 14 years. Proposition 28 would allow a lawmaker to serve 12 years in the Assembly or 12 years in the Senate.
