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. 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 allowing for a broader selection of trustees. The bill maintains the requirement for the Governor to appoint the trustees with the Senate's advice and consent, and it continues to prohibit university employees from serving on the board. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
