    34-907B.  TERM LIMITS PLEDGE. (1) The Secretary of State shall permit but
not require any candidate for the United States Congress to submit to the
Secretary of State an executed copy of the Term Limits Pledge set forth in
subsection (2) of this section up until 15 days prior to the Secretary of
State's certification of the ballot in order for the ballot information set
forth in subsections (3) and (4) of this section to be included on that
ballot.
    (2)  The Term Limits Pledge will be as set forth herein and will
incorporate the applicable language in brackets, "[ ]" for the office the
candidate seeks:
I voluntarily pledge not to serve in the United States [House of
Representatives for more than three (3) terms] [Senate more than two (2)
terms] after the effective date of this provision. I understand that informing
the voters that I have taken this pledge is important to the voters. I
therefore authorize, instruct and ask the Secretary of State to notify the
voters of this action by placing the applicable ballot information, "Signed
TERM LIMITS pledge to serve no more than [three (3) terms] [two (2) terms]" or
"Broke TERM LIMITS pledge" next to my name on every election ballot and in all
state sponsored voter education material in which my name appears as a
candidate for the office to which the pledge refers.

.............................                                 ................
         Signature                                                  Date
    (3)  The Secretary of State shall place on every election ballot and in
all state sponsored voter education material the applicable ballot
information, "Signed TERM LIMITS pledge  to  serve  no more than [three (3)
terms] [two (2) terms]" next to the name of any candidate for the office of
United States Representative and United States Senator who has ever executed
the Term Limits Pledge except when subsection (4) of this section applies.
    (4)  The Secretary of State shall place on every election ballot and in
all state sponsored voter education material the ballot information, "Broke
TERM LIMITS pledge" next to the name of any candidate who at any time executes
the Term Limits Pledge and thereafter qualifies as a candidate for a term that
would exceed the number of terms set forth in the Term Limits Pledge.
    (5)  The Secretary of State, or designated election official, at every
election for U.S. Representative or U.S. Senator held after the effective date
of this act, and notwithstanding the provisions of any other potential
conflicting statute, including Idaho Code sections 18-2318 and 18-2323, shall
post in a conspicuous place in every polling location a copy of the Term
Limits Pledge set forth in subsection (2).
    (6)  For the purpose of this section, service in office for more than
one-half of a term shall be deemed service for a term.
    (7)  The state recognized proponents and sponsors of this initiative shall
have standing to defend this initiative against any challenge in any court.
    (8)  The Secretary of State shall implement this act by rule as long as
such rules do not alter the intent of this section.
    (9)  If any portion, clause or phrase of this act is for any reason held
to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
remaining portions, clauses, and phrases shall not be affected, but shall
remain in full force and effect.
