Bill Summary
Authorizing a county board of library trustees to provide for the selection of a student member of the board; and establishing the qualifications, setting a 1-year term of office, and providing for the voting rights of the student member of a county board of library trustees, if selected.
AI Summary
This bill allows county boards of library trustees to choose to include a student member on their board, who must be a junior or senior in high school within the county, of good character and academic standing, and demonstrate an interest in library matters. This student member would serve a one-year term and, if selected to fill a vacancy, would only serve the remainder of that term but could be eligible for a full term afterward. Importantly, the student member would be allowed to vote on all policy matters before the board, with the option for the board to allow them to vote on additional non-policy matters as well.
