Senate Bill 1855 amends the Education Code to expand the Texarkana College District's taxing district to include all of Bowie County, rather than only part of the municipality of Texarkana and part of the Pleasant Grove Independent School District, and to authorize the college district's governing board by resolution or board order to decrease the number of board members from nine to seven, with four members elected from respective commissioner precincts and three members elected at large. The bill requires the resolution or order to establish transition terms of office to conform to elections held in even-numbered years and staggered six-year terms.
