AI Summary
This bill modifies the nomination process for the Michigan State Board of Education by dividing the state into four districts based on the existing judicial circuit county groupings and requiring political parties to nominate candidates who are residents of specific districts during their fall state conventions. Under the new system, each political party will nominate two candidates every two years, with one candidate from a designated district (either District 1 and 4, or Districts 2 and 3), ensuring geographic representation. The nomination schedule begins in 2026, with subsequent nominations occurring every eight years on a rotating basis. Specifically, in 2026 and every eight years thereafter, parties will nominate candidates from Districts 1 and 4, while in 2028 and every eight years thereafter, they will nominate candidates from Districts 2 and 3. This approach aims to create a more balanced and geographically representative selection process for the State Board of Education by requiring candidates to be residents of specific districts during their respective nomination cycles.
