- Reduces State Transportation Board member terms from five years to four years, aligning them more closely with General Assembly election cycles
- Allows a board member to be recalled prior to the end of their term by a majority vote of the legislative caucus that originally elected them
- Establishes a staggered transition: terms of all sitting members expire December 31, 2010; members from even-numbered congressional districts are then elected to initial two-year terms, while odd-numbered district members receive four-year terms, with all subsequent terms being four years
- Requires an annual meeting within the first 20 days of each regular legislative session, called by the House and Senate Transportation Committee chairs, where board members meet with the legislative delegations that elected them
- Conditional effective date of January 1, 2011, contingent on voter ratification of a constitutional amendment at the November 2010 general election authorizing four-year terms and recall of board members; the Act is automatically repealed if the amendment is not ratified
