Bill > S2395

This bill addresses the term limits for members of the Steamship Authority Board by modifying the existing governance structure. Specifically, the bill limits board members to serving no more than three full terms, with a special provision that allows members appointed to fill a vacancy to serve three full terms after completing the remainder of their predecessor's term. The legislation includes a transitional provision that permits current board members who have already served three full terms to complete their current term and serve one additional term immediately afterward. By making these changes, the bill aims to introduce more regular board membership turnover while providing some flexibility for existing long-serving members. The Steamship Authority is a public transportation entity responsible for ferry services, likely in Massachusetts, and this bill seeks to improve its oversight and operational governance by implementing these term limit guidelines.
