SB640

Senate Bill 640 mandates the immediate termination of the terms of current members serving on the Arkansas State Library Board. It directs the Governor to appoint seven new members to the board to replace those whose terms were cut short. The bill establishes a process for the new members to determine their respective term lengths through the drawing of lots, with initial terms ranging from one to seven years. Future appointments to the board will serve standard seven-year terms. The Governor is required to convene the first meeting of this reconstituted board within thirty days of the act's effective date.
