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 the intermediate school board must appoint these electors within 10 days following the official canvass of the consolidation election. The appointed board will manage the affected school districts as separate entities until the consolidation takes effect. If the consolidated district spans multiple intermediate school districts, the boards must act jointly to make the appointments.

Additionally, the bill modifies the timeline for board member appointments and their terms. Instead of requiring members to file acceptance and eligibility affidavits within 7 days, the new language mandates that each appointed member will hold office until January 1, or until July 1 if the regular election occurs in May. 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.
