Senate Bill 913, also known as House Bill 1006, amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning the composition of governing boards for institutions of higher education. Specifically, it modifies Section 49-8-201(f)(6) by deleting the existing subdivision (D) and replacing it with a new provision that states, "Members of a governing body for another institution of higher education." This change aims to clarify the eligibility of members serving on multiple governing bodies.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a state university board member is currently serving on the governing board of another institution of higher education at the time the act becomes effective, their position on the state university board will be vacated. The appropriate appointing authority is then responsible for filling this vacancy for the remainder of the term. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of maintaining clear governance structures within Tennessee's higher education system.
