See also: State legislatures with term limits

The California State Assembly became a term-limited state house when California voters approved Proposition 140 in 1990. Under the terms of Proposition 140, the members of the state assembly can serve no more than three 2-year terms in the state assembly. This is a lifetime limit, as was the case in five other states with state legislative term limits as of 2010.

There are 80 members in the state assembly, and 17 of them (21%) termed-out in 2010.

In addition to the 17 California state representatives who left office because of term limits, 8 California state senators also termed-out.

California state representatives whose seats were up for election in 2010 but who were unable to run because of the state's term limits were:

Democrats (11):

Republicans (5):

Independents (1):

Juan Arambula
