A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to limit community college trustees to two full four‑year terms.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 115D‑13 reads as rewritten:
"§ 115D‑13.  Terms of office of trustees.
(a)	The regular terms of trustees appointed in 1981 and trustees appointed in 1987 shall be extended for one year. The term of one or more trustees, as appropriate, elected pursuant to G.S. 115D‑12 may be extended for one year so that these terms will be staggered, unless they are already staggered.
(b)	Except for the one year extensions of terms set forth in subsection (a) of this section, and for the ex officio member, as the terms of trustees currently in office expire, their successors shall be appointed for four‑year terms.
All terms shall commence on July 1 of the year.
(c)	Beginning with any term commencing on or after July 1, 2007, any person who has served two full four‑year terms in succession as a member of a board of trustees shall, for a period of one year, be ineligible to serve on the same board but may serve on the board of another institution."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
