AB603-ASA1,1,4 An Act to renumber 38.10 (2) (a); to amend 38.08 (1) (a) 1., 38.08 (2m), 38.10 (1) (intro.) and 38.10 (2) (d) 1.; and to create 38.10 (2) (ag) and 38.10 (3) of the statutes; relating to: the appointment a student member to each technical college district board.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, the technical college system is managed on the local level by district boards consisting of nine members in each of the state's 16 technical college districts. The members of the technical college district board for each district are appointed by an appointment committee consisting of local elected officials in accordance with a representation plan based upon population distribution within the district, including distribution of women and minorities. All members of district boards must be residents of the district. Two members must be employers and two members must be employees. One member must be a school district administrator of a school district that lies within the technical college district. All members serve for three-year terms.

This substitute amendment adds to each district board a student member. The student must be enrolled at least half-time and in good academic standing at the technical college and be at least 18 years old. Under the substitute amendment, the student member is selected by the students enrolled in the technical college according to procedures prescribed by the state technical college system board.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
