The bill amends section 861 of the Revised School Code, specifically addressing the appointment of school electors for newly consolidated school districts in Michigan. It stipulates that not later than 10 days after the official canvass of the consolidation election, the intermediate school board must appoint school electors to act as a board for the consolidated school district. This board will manage the affected school districts separately until the consolidation takes effect. If the consolidated district spans multiple intermediate school districts, the boards must act jointly. Additionally, the timeline for board member appointments has been adjusted, requiring members to file an affidavit of eligibility within 7 days of their appointment.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that each appointed board member will serve until January 1, or until July 1 if the regular election occurs in May, after which a new board must be elected at the first regular school election following the consolidation. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4793 of the 103rd Legislature.
