As a result of Proposition 140 in 1990 and Proposition 28 in 2012, members elected to the legislature prior to 2012 are restricted by <a href="/wiki/Term_limits_in_the_United_States" title="Term limits in the United States">term limits</a> to two four-year terms (eight years), while those elected in or after 2012 are allowed to serve 12 years in the legislature in any combination of four-year state senate or two-year state assembly terms.<sup id="cite_ref-Article_4_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Article_4-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Members of the state senate serve four-year terms. Every two years, half of the senate's 40 seats are subject to election.

The dais rests along a wall shaped like an "E", with its central projection housing the rostrum. The lower tier dais runs across the entire chamber, there are several chairs and computers used by the senate officers, the most prominent seat is reserved for the secretary who calls the roll. The higher tier is smaller, with three chairs, the two largest and most ornate chairs are used by the president pro tempore (right chair) and the lieutenant governor (left chair). The third and smallest chair, placed in the center, is used by the presiding officer (acting in place of the pro tem) and is rarely sat in as the president is expected to stand. There are four other chairs flanking the dais used by the highest non-member officials attending the senate, a foreign dignitary or state officer for example. Each of the 40 senators is provided a desk, microphone and two chairs, one for the senator, another for guests or legislative aides. Almost every decorating element is identical to the assembly chamber. Along the cornice appears a portrait of <a href="/wiki/George_Washington" title="George Washington">George Washington</a> and the Latin quotation <i>senatoris est civitatis libertatem tueri</i> ("It is the duty of the senator to guard the civil liberties of the Commonwealth"). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Composition">Composition</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=California_State_Senate&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Composition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table style="width:50%"> <tbody><tr> <td colspan="3" scope="row" style="text-align:center">↓ </td></tr> <tr> <td scope="row" style="background:#33F;
