This bill amends the Community College Act of 1966 by updating the procedures and requirements for members of the board of trustees of community college districts in Michigan. Specifically, it stipulates that individuals elected or appointed to the board must file their oath of office with the secretary of the board within 15 days of their appointment or election. The bill also clarifies that the oath must affirm their commitment to support the Constitution of the United States and the state constitution, and to faithfully discharge their duties. Additionally, it removes the requirement for members to file an acceptance of office and an affidavit of eligibility.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the circumstances under which a board member's position becomes vacant, including death, adjudication of insanity, resignation, removal, felony conviction, void election or appointment, neglect to file the oath of office, and loss of legal qualifications for holding office. The language has been updated to use more inclusive terms, such as replacing "his" with "the" and "individual," ensuring clarity and modernity in the legal text. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4793.
