SB484 Alabama 2015 Session

Under existing law, the Board of Trustees of Auburn University consists of 13 members plus the Governor, who serves as chair

This bill would propose an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, to provide that in any calendar year in which four or more trustees have terms expiring in the same year, term expiration dates shall be automatically adjusted to ensure that no more than three trustees will have terms expiring in the same year

This bill would also propose to add two seats to the Board of Trustees to enhance the diversity of the board and delete obsolete transition language

To amend Amendment 161 to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended by Amendment 670, now appearing as Section 266 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, relating to the Board of Trustees of Auburn University; to establish procedures for automatically adjusting term expiration dates in order to limit the number of terms that expire during the same calendar year to three; and to increase the membership of the board by two at-large members to enhance the diversity of the board.
