The bill amends Section 16-52-3 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to revise the composition of the Board of Trustees for Jacksonville State University. The changes include increasing the at-large membership from one to four members, specifying that two of these at-large members must reside within Alabama and two must reside outside the state. The language also clarifies that the at-large members can be from either within or outside the state, replacing the previous requirement that only one member could be from outside the 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.
