HCS HB 440 -- STUDENT MEMBERS OF UNIVERSITY GOVERNING BOARDS (Pratt) COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN: Higher Education This substitute gives voting rights to a student curator or governing board member for the University of Missouri, Missouri State University, and Truman State University. Currently, the boards have nonvoting student members. The substitute does not change the status of the nonvoting member but requires that the next appointment of a voting member be a full-time student, who will serve for two years. The substitute will sunset after four years, so that with the first available appointment after August 28, 2009, the voting student curator will be replaced with a nonstudent curator unless the General Assembly takes action to make the voting student curator position permanent. FISCAL NOTE: No impact on state funds in FY 2006, FY 2007, and FY 2008.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
