A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO MAKE CHANGES IN THE MEMBERSHIP AND ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 116-6(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	As the terms of members of the Board of Governors provided   for in G.S. 116-5 expire, their successors shall be elected by the Senate and House of Representatives.  Effective for the 1993 election, the election shall be by electronic vote, which method satisfies the constitutional requirement for a ‘voice vote'. Eight members shall be so elected at the regular legislative session in 1987 and 1989, and 16 members shall be so elected at the regular legislative session in 1991 and every two years thereafter.”
Sec. 2.  G.S. 116-7(b) reads as rewritten:
"(b)	From and after July 1, 1973, no member of the General Assembly or officer or employee of the State or of any constituent institution or spouse of any such member, officer or employee may be a member of the Board of Governors. Any member of the Board of Governors who is elected or appointed to the General Assembly or who becomes an officer or employee of the State or of any constituent institution or whose spouse is elected or appointed to the General Assembly or becomes such officer or employee shall be deemed thereupon to resign from his membership on the Board of Governors.  From and after July 1, 1991, no person shall be elected to the Board of Governors within two years of leaving service as a member of the General Assembly."
Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.
