This bill amends and reenacts specific provisions of Louisiana law regarding the meetings of certain public postsecondary education boards, specifically the Board of Regents and the boards of supervisors for the University of Louisiana and Southern University. The amendments include changes to the language surrounding the organization and meetings of these boards, particularly the timing of their first meeting each year. The bill specifies that the boards shall meet in January each year and at other times as determined by the board or upon the call of the president or chairman.

Significantly, the bill removes the previous requirement for the first meeting to be held in Baton Rouge within ten days of the election results or the appointment of members by the governor, and instead establishes a more flexible framework for scheduling meetings. The new language emphasizes that the boards will meet at least twice a year with the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, aligning with constitutional provisions. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the meeting process for these educational boards while ensuring regular collaboration with the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
