AI Summary

  • Changes the deadline for electing board of regents members from the first Tuesday to the second Tuesday of March.

  • Eliminates the requirement for a joint session ballot if the legislature fails to agree on a concurrent resolution by the deadline.

  • Simplifies the process for filling regent vacancies by requiring all elections (both expired and unexpired terms) to follow the same concurrent resolution procedure.

  • Removes the exception allowing vacancies occurring after the second Tuesday in March to be filled at the next legislative session, instead deferring such vacancies to the next session only if they occur after either house adopts a resolution to adjourn sine die or after the second Tuesday in March.

Legislative Description
