Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

While there are no term limits on members of Congress, various states have different term limits for their own law makers.

These limits are not standardized across states and for this reason, term limits vary across each state and therefore also the times the legislative officials are elected.

This is why in a given year, up to 20% of lawmakers can be new to their seat.
