§ 68057 Commissioner Term Limits

Key Takeaways

  • •Commissioners serve for 2 years, but their first terms might be 1 or 2 years, decided by luck (like drawing names from a hat).
  • •No one can be a commissioner for more than 4 terms in a row (that’s 8 years total).
  • •If someone gets a 1-year term first, they can serve one more 2-year term after that.

Example

Imagine a group of parents elected to run a school’s lunch program.

Half of them get to decide menus for 1 year, and the other half for 2 years—they pick by drawing names. After that, everyone serves 2 years. But no one can stay on the lunch team for more than 8 years in a row.
