The bill amends Section 16-52-3 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically regarding the composition of the Board of Trustees for Jacksonville State University. The key changes include increasing the at-large membership from one to four members, with two members required to reside within Alabama and two members residing outside the state. The language reflects these changes by replacing "one at-large member from the state" with "two at-large members from this state" and adding "two at-large members who reside either within or outside of this state."

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing structure of the board, which includes two members from the congressional district where the university is located and one member from each of the other congressional districts in Alabama. The bill also stipulates that trustees are appointed by the Governor with Senate consent for a term of six years, with a limit of three full terms. Other provisions regarding trustee compensation, age limits, and eligibility criteria remain unchanged. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
