  1  1    Section 1.  Section 262.2, Code 1999, is amended to read as
  1  2 follows:
  1  3    262.2  APPOINTMENT – TERM OF OFFICE.
  1  4    1.  The members shall be appointed by the governor subject
  1  5 to confirmation by the senate.  The Except for the student
  1  6 member, the term of each member of the board shall be for six
  1  7 years, staggered so that not all terms expire at the same
  1  8 time.  The terms of three the members of the board shall begin
  1  9 and expire in each an odd-numbered year as on the dates
  1 10 provided in section 69.19.  A vacancy shall be filled in the
  1 11 same manner as the original appointment and shall be for the
  1 12 remainder of the unexpired term.
  1 13    2.  The term of the student member of the board shall be
  1 14 for two years.  The student member must remain enrolled on a
  1 15 full-time basis in good standing at either the graduate or
  1 16 undergraduate level at one of the institutions listed in
  1 17 section 262.7, subsection 1, 2, or 3, throughout the student's
  1 18 term of office.  An appointment for a full term shall be made
  1 19 in a manner so that at the time of appointment the student
  1 20 member appointed is not enrolled in the same institution as
  1 21 the student whose term is expiring.  However, a vacancy shall
  1 22 be filled in the same manner as the original appointment is
  1 23 made and shall be for the remainder of the unexpired term.
  1 24    Sec. 2.  CONTINGENT EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Act takes effect
  1 25 upon a vacancy or expiration of the term of the student member
  1 26 of the state board of regents holding office as of the
  1 27 enactment date of this Act, whichever is earlier.  If a
  1 28 vacancy occurs in the term of that student member before the
  1 29 member's term expires, the term shall expire on April 30 of
  1 30 the soonest odd-numbered year.  Notwithstanding section 262.2,
  1 31 subsection 2, as enacted by this Act, a student appointed to
  1 32 fill the vacancy in an unexpired term as provided in this
  1 33 section may also be appointed to fill a full two-year term as
  1 34 the student member of the board.  The state board of regents
  1 35 shall notify the Code editor upon the vacancy or expiration of
  2  1 the term of the student member holding office as of the
  2  2 enactment date of this Act.  
  2  3                           EXPLANATION
  2  4    This bill relates to the student member of the state board
  2  5 of regents by amending Code section 262.2, relating to the
  2  6 appointment and terms of the members of the board.
  2  7    Under current law, the term of office of all members of the
  2  8 state board of regents is six years.  The bill provides the
  2  9 term for the student member of the board would be two years.
  2 10 Current law provides that at the time of appointment the
  2 11 student member must be a full-time student in good standing at
  2 12 the university of Iowa, Iowa state university, or the
  2 13 university of northern Iowa.  The bill requires the student to
  2 14 maintain this qualification throughout the student's term on
  2 15 the board.  The bill also provides that once the student
  2 16 member's term expires, the next student appointed must be
  2 17 enrolled in a different regents institution than was the
  2 18 student whose term expired.
  2 19    Current law provides for terms of three board members to
  2 20 begin and end in each odd-numbered year.  With the student
  2 21 member moving to a two-year term, this will no longer be
  2 22 possible.  The bill provides that terms should be staggered
  2 23 and that a vacancy on the board is filled for the remainder of
  2 24 the unexpired term.
  2 25    The bill includes a contingent effective date.  The bill
  2 26 would not take effect until the term of the current student
  2 27 member of the board expires or the student member vacates the
  2 28 appointment.  If such a vacancy occurs, that term will expire
  2 29 on April 30 of the soonest odd-numbered year.  The state board
  2 30 is to notify the Code editor in either event.
