Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin wants term limits for the office he currently holds.

The city is advertising a bill to be introduced in the 2018 state legislative session to limit the mayor of Birmingham to only two terms of office. There is currently no term limit.

"Term limits are a topic the mayor has discussed since his campaign," said Chanda Temple, public information office for the mayor's office. "He believes fresh ideas and leadership are vital to the life of a city in order to continue progress."

The bill states that "upon taking office following the municipal election held in 2021, the mayor shall be eligible to succeed himself in office following that term but shall not be eligible to succeed himself for more than one additional term."

The legislation would only apply to a Class 1 municipality. Birmingham is the only city that falls under that classification.

Woodfin's office didn't say whether the bill has a sponsor yet.

It's unclear at this time if the bill could be passed before the end of this year's session. The bill has to be advertised through April 4 before it can be filed in the Legislature.

Woodfin touted the legislation as one of the many initiatives he plans to implement this year in the report from his citizen-led transition team. This report was presented to the public on Thursday.
