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 allowed to reside outside the state. This revision aims to diversify the board's representation and enhance its governance.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous stipulation regarding the appointment of trustees commencing on May 26, 2015, and maintains the requirement that trustees serve a term of six years, with a limit of three full terms. Other provisions regarding the appointment process, compensation, and eligibility criteria for trustees remain unchanged. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
