Summary

The bill repeals seven existing statutes and replaces them with new sections that set how governing boards for Harris‑Stowe State University, Northwest Missouri State University, and other statewide public institutions are formed. It limits the number of members from any one political party, adds residency and student‑representation requirements, and defines appointment terms by the governor with Senate advice and consent. The changes standardize board structures across the state’s higher‑education system.
