Comm. Coll. Trustee Terms/Region 3.
This bill modifies the terms of office for specific members of the boards of trustees at several North Carolina community colleges, including Bladen, Cape Fear, Central Carolina, James Sprunt, Johnston, Lenoir, Pitt, and Sandhills. The legislation establishes new start and end dates for trustee positions, often shortening terms to one or two years or extending existing terms to align with future election cycles. Changes apply to trustees appointed by local county boards, county education boards, the governor, or the state legislature, ensuring their service periods expire on June 30 of designated years. By overriding previous laws, the bill creates a structured timeline for when these local and state-appointed officials must step down or seek re-election.
