Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1754 amends the Education Code to allow the board of trustees of a junior college district where trustees are elected from single-member districts and serve staggered terms to provide for the trustees in office at the first election after the junior college district's decennial redistricting to serve the remainder of their terms. Prior law required that all board positions be filled at that same election and that the newly elected members draw lots for the initial two-year, four-year, and six-year terms. If the board provides for trustees to serve out their terms after redistricting, districts established by the redistricting are to be filled as the staggered terms of incumbent trustees expire, in the order determined by the board.
