They are listed here to indicate the types of provisions such bills often consider, but readers should verify against the final bill text if it resurfaces:
    • Which offices are subject to term limits (e.g., state legislators, statewide elected officials, local offices).
    • The number of consecutive terms permitted and whether limits apply to all terms or exclude certain positions.
    • How term counts are calculated (e.g., counting partial terms, special elections, appointments).
    • Rules for interims, special elections, resignations, and how term limits interact with vacancies.
    • Grandfathering or transitional provisions for sitting officeholders.
    • Provisions governing eligibility, re-qualification, and potential exceptions.
