Abstract
The movement to limit legislative terms has been barreling across the country since 1990. Fifteen states have passed initiatives limiting the terms of federal legislators, including California, Michigan, Florida, Ohio, and Washington. Sixteen states have also adopted term limitation initiatives for state legislators.1 Activists in at least eight other states are working on initiatives for the 1994 ballot and in the remaining non-initiative states citizen groups are lobbying for term limitation legislation (see Coyne and Fund, 1992; Petracca and Jump, 1993).
