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 that only one at-large member could be from within the state and one from outside, thereby broadening the eligibility criteria for board members. The bill maintains that trustees will be appointed by the Governor with Senate consent, serve six-year terms, and prohibits any employee of Jacksonville State University from serving on the board. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
