The bill amends existing laws regarding the terms of office for municipal school board members in Alaska. It introduces a new subsection to AS 14.12.050, allowing the governing body of a municipality to alter the terms of office through an ordinance. Additionally, it modifies AS 29.20.300(a) to specify that school board members are elected for three-year terms, with the possibility of altering these terms as indicated in the newly added subsection (c) of the same section.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that members of the school board are elected at large unless a different election method is approved by voters. The changes aim to provide municipalities with greater flexibility in determining the terms of office for their school board members. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
