This 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 include a reference to a new subsection (c), which similarly permits the governing body to change the terms of office for school board members as outlined in subsection (a).

The bill specifies that school board members are typically elected for three-year terms at regular elections, unless a different election method has been approved by voters. The changes aim to provide municipalities with greater flexibility in determining the structure and duration of school board member terms. The Act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
