Harrington mayor and council lose term limits
The law removes Harrington’s limits of two consecutive terms for the mayor and three consecutive terms for council members. These officials can now seek additional consecutive terms without a term cap. It also removes the exception allowing term-limited officials to serve another term when no eligible candidate files. This change does not directly change household taxes, benefits, or services.
