by Courtney Gross
October 8, 2008
| BILL NUMBER: | SPONSOR: | STATUS: | SUMMARY: |
| N/A | ![]() Councilmember Oliver Koppell |
Been abandoned | The bill, requested in early September, has since been abandoned, Koppell said, because it's identical to the mayor's legislation, which was proposed a month later. It would have simply increased the city's term-limit cap from two to three terms. |

Introduced | Would permanently extend the city's term limit from two to three terms. |
| Not assigned yet, text available here | ![]() Councilmembers Letitia James and Bill de Blasio |
Has not been introduced yet, but will have a hearing next week. | Would require the city set up a Charter Revision Commission to look into term limits and send the issue to voters. |
| Intro 850 | ![]() Councilmember David Weprin |
Introduced | Prohibits the City Council from acting on term limits legislatively and requires any proposal on the issue be subject to a referendum. |
| Reso. 1640 | ![]() Councilmember Tony Avella |
Introduced | Calls for the State Legislature to require any change in term-limit law be done by referendum. |
