Summary

The bill changes the board of the Department of Archives and History to nine members: two trustees from each of the four congressional districts and one at‑large member, all appointed by the governor with Senate consent. Initial appointments would have staggered terms ranging from one to five years, after which each trustee would serve a six‑year term. The goal is to create a consistent, geographically balanced governing body for the state’s archival agency.
