State Universities - As introduced, expands the list of those who are prohibited from serving on a state university board to include those who hold the position of a member of a governing body for another institution of higher education, not just public institutions of higher education. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29; Title 49, Chapter 7; Title 49, Chapter 8 and Title 49, Chapter 9.

HB 1006 amends Tennessee law to expand who is prohibited from serving on a state university governing board. It now bars individuals who hold a position on the governing board of *any* higher education institution (not just public ones) from serving on a state university board. The bill also requires immediate vacating of any state board seat held by someone serving on another institution's board as of the law's effective date, with the appointing authority filling the vacancy for the remaining term. This directly affects current and future state university board members who also serve on boards of other colleges or universities.
