The bill amends the law governing the composition and appointment of the board of a regional airport authority in Arkansas. It establishes that the board will consist of a minimum of six and a maximum of twenty-four members, appointed for six-year terms. The bill specifies that each participating governmental unit is entitled to appoint a number of members as outlined in the agreement, with at least one member guaranteed for each unit. Additionally, if the state participates, it will appoint an equal percentage of members as the other governmental units. The bill also allows for the appointment of at least two members by the municipality where the authority is located, even if that municipality is not a participant in the agreement.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the nomination and appointment process for board members, stating that they will be nominated by the mayor or county judge and approved by the respective city council or quorum court, with the Governor also having the authority to appoint members. The terms of the board members will be staggered, with one-third serving six-year terms, one-third serving four-year terms, and one-third serving two-year terms initially, after which all appointments will revert to six-year terms. All appointed members must be bona fide residents and qualified electors of the area they represent, ensuring local representation on the board.
