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 removes the requirement for these individuals to submit an acceptance of office and an affidavit of eligibility, streamlining the process. Additionally, the language has been updated to replace gender-specific terms with more inclusive language, such as changing "his" to "the" and "person" to "individual."

Furthermore, the bill clarifies the circumstances under which a board member's position becomes vacant, specifying that it occurs immediately upon events such as death, adjudication of insanity, resignation, removal, felony conviction, or failure to meet legal qualifications. The language has been revised to ensure clarity and consistency, including the removal of unnecessary phrases. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4793.
