Bill overview
This bill changes the requirements for becoming a member of a county district board. Currently, applicants must be registered voters in the county or a high school student with parental permission. This new legislation allows full-time college students, even if they don't live in the county or state, to apply for a board position if they are enrolled at an institution of higher education within the county. The bill aims to increase civic engagement among college students.
