1		AN ACT concerning education.
2		Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3		represented in the General Assembly:
4		Section 5. The Illinois State University Law is amended by
5		changing Section 20-15 as follows:
6		(110 ILCS 675/20-15)
7		Sec. 20-15. Membership; terms; vacancies. The Board shall
8		consist of 9 7 voting members appointed by the Governor, by and
9		with the advice and consent of the Senate, and one voting
10		member who is a student at Illinois State University. The
11		student member shall be chosen by a campus-wide student
12		election. The student member shall serve a term of one year
13		beginning on July 1 of each year, except that the student
14		member initially selected shall serve a term beginning on the
15		date of his or her selection and expiring on the next
16		succeeding June 30. To be eligible to remain as a student
17		member of the Board, the student member must be a resident of
18		this State, must have and maintain a grade point average that
19		is equivalent to at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, and must be a full
20		time student enrolled at all times during his or her term of
21		office except for that part of the term which follows the
22		completion of the last full regular semester of an academic
23		year and precedes the first full regular semester of the

SB1146 Engrossed - 2 - LRB099 05328 NHT 25363 b
1		succeeding academic year at the university (sometimes commonly
2		referred to as the summer session or summer school). If a
3		student member serving on the Board fails to continue to meet
4		or maintain the residency, minimum grade point average, or
5		enrollment requirement established by this Section, his or her
6		membership on the Board shall be deemed to have terminated by
7		operation of law. Of the members first appointed by the
8		Governor, 4 shall be appointed for terms to expire on the third
9		Monday in January, 1999, and 3 shall be appointed for terms to
10		expire on the third Monday in January, 2001. One of the
11		additional members appointed by the Governor, by and with the
12		advice and consent of the Senate, under this amendatory Act of
13		the 99th General Assembly, shall be appointed for a term to
14		expire on the third Monday in January, 2019 and the other
15		additional member appointed by the Governor, by and with the
16		advice and consent of the Senate, under this amendatory Act of
17		the 99th General Assembly, shall be appointed for a term to
18		expire on the third Monday in January, 2021. If the Senate is
19		not in session on the effective date of this Article, or if a
20		vacancy in an appointive membership occurs at a time when the
21		Senate is not in session, the Governor shall make temporary
22		appointments until the next meeting of the Senate when he shall
23		nominate persons to fill such memberships for the remainder of
24		their respective terms. No more than 5 4 of the members
25		appointed by the Governor shall be affiliated with the same
26		political party. Each member appointed by the Governor must be

SB1146 Engrossed - 3 - LRB099 05328 NHT 25363 b
1		a resident of this State. A failure to meet or maintain this
2		residency requirement constitutes a resignation from and
3		creates a vacancy in the Board. Upon the expiration of the
4		terms of members appointed by the Governor, their respective
5		successors shall be appointed for terms of 6 years from the
6		third Monday in January of each odd-numbered year. Any members
7		appointed to the Board shall continue to serve in such capacity
8		until their successors are appointed and qualified.
