H159 - Education Law Changes. (SL 2022-71)

Overview: Section 3.5 of S.L. 2022-71 expands the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM) Board of Trustees to reflect the newly created congressional district for North Carolina. Previously, the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina was required to appoint one member from each of the State's 13 congressional districts. This section removes the explicit numerical reference and simply aligns these appointments with the number of congressional districts.

This section becomes effective July 1, 2023, at which time the newly appointed member of the Board of Trustees will be appointed for a term ending June 30, 2027.
