Gibson County - As introduced, moves election date for the county special school district board of trustees to coincide with the general election. - Amends Chapter 62 of the Private Acts of 1981; as amended.
This bill changes how the Gibson County Special School District Board of Trustees is structured and how its members are elected. It increases the number of board seats from six to seven, creating one additional district for representation. The law also shifts the election schedule so that all trustee positions are now up for vote during the county general election in even-numbered years, with terms set to four years. To make this transition work, the bill temporarily adjusts the length of terms for specific seats in 2025 and 2027 before the new four-year cycle fully begins in 2028.
