The recent amendment to SCR 1031 introduces a term limit for the position of mine inspector, stating that this official can only serve a maximum of two consecutive four-year terms starting from January 1, 2027. Additionally, it specifies that anyone who reaches this limit must wait for at least one full term before being eligible to run for office again.
