The bill aims to reconstitute the State Library Board in Arkansas by terminating the current members' terms on the effective date of the act. The Governor is tasked with appointing seven new members to the board, whose terms will begin immediately. The appointments will follow the procedures outlined in existing law, specifically referencing section 13-2-205. Additionally, the Governor is required to convene the first meeting of the newly appointed board within thirty days of the act's effective date.
During the inaugural meeting, the new board members will draw lots to determine their respective terms, which will vary from one to seven years. Specifically, one member will serve a one-year term, two members will serve three-year terms, two members will serve five-year terms, and two members will serve seven-year terms. Future appointments to the board will have a standard term of seven years, and any term shorter than this will not be considered a full term for the purposes of the relevant law.
