§ 22.30.030. Terms of office.

A.

The full term of office for assembly members is 3 years. No person who has completed two full terms on the assembly in a continuous period of service may serve another term or portion of a term until a period of 180 days has passed since the end of his second full term of office. A full term of office means the regular term of office for assembly and, except as provided in paragraph B of this section, does not include portions of a term served by appointment or election to the remainder of an unexpired term vacated by another person or to a less than 3 year term resulting from assembly redistricting.

B.

In no event shall an assembly member serve more than eight consecutive years without a break in service of at least 180 days. For purposes of this section only, if an assembly member has served eight consecutive years or cannot serve another term without exceeding the eight year limit, then the following shall apply:

1.

For persons who have served one three-year term during their continuous period of service, the longest term served of less than three years shall constitute a full term, and other periods of service of less than three years shall not be considered full terms.

2.

For person who have served no three-year terms during their continuous period of service, then the two longest terms served shall both constitute full terms, and other periods of service of less than three years shall not be considered full terms.

C.

The regular term of office for an assembly member begins on the first Monday following the certification of that member's election by assembly resolution and of the member's swearing in.
