Title

Board of Trustees, Ala. Community College System, members may serve two consecutive four-year terms, Sec. 16-60-111 am'd.

Summary

HB472 clarifies that appointed Alabama Community College System Board of Trustees members may not serve more than two consecutive full terms, and partial terms do not count toward that limit.

What This Bill Does

It amends Section 16-60-111 to specify that the two-consecutive-full-term limit applies only to full terms. It also states that any two-year or other partial term appointed to the board does not count toward that limit. As a result, a member’s ability to serve again is affected only by completed full terms in sequence, not by partial terms.

Who It Affects

• Appointed members of the Alabama Community College System Board of Trustees — their eligibility for future service is determined based only on full terms, with partial or two-year terms not counting toward the limit.
• The Governor (appointing authority) and the Senate (confirmations) — they oversee and approve appointments and will apply the clarified rule when determining whether a member has reached the term limit.

Key Provisions

• Clarifies that the two consecutive term limit applies only to full terms and excludes any two-year or partial terms from counting toward the limit.
• Amends Section 16-60-111 to codify this clarified term-count rule for appointed board members.
