Section 1137. Public Policy

Latest version.

It is hereby declared to be the public policy
  of the city of New York to limit the time elected officials can serve as
  mayor, public  advocate,  comptroller,  borough  president  and  council
  member so that elected representatives are "citizen representatives" who
  are   responsive  to  the  needs  of  the  people  and  are  not  career
  politicians.  It  is  further  declared  that  this   policy   is   most
  appropriately  served  by  limiting the time such officials can serve to
  not more than three full consecutive terms.
