With regard to all community college districts with elected board trustees who are elected after the effective date of the amendatory Act or appointed to fill a vacancy of at least one year's duration of an elected trustee after the effective date of the amendatory Act, provides that every voting member of a community college district's board elected or appointed for an elected trustee for a term beginning after the effective date of the amendatory Act, within a year after the effective date of the amendatory Act and during the third and fifth year of his or her term, shall complete a minimum of 4 hours of professional development leadership training. Provides that the community college district shall maintain on its Internet website, if any, the names of all elected voting trustees of the community college district's board who have successfully completed the training.

Provides for application to appointed trustees (not just trustees elected or appointed to fill a vacancy). Requires every voting member of a board of trustees (to which the provisions apply) to complete a minimum of 4 hours of professional development leadership training covering topics that include, but are not limited to, open meetings law, community college and labor law, freedom of information law, ethics, sexual violence on campus, financial oversight and accountability, audits, and fiduciary responsibilities of a community college trustee during the first, third, and fifth year of his or her term (instead of requiring every voting member of a board elected or appointed for an elected trustee for a term beginning after the effective date of the amendatory Act, within a year after the effective date of the amendatory Act and during the third and fifth year of his or her term, to complete a minimum of 4 hours of professional development leadership training covering topics in community college and labor law, opening meetings law, freedom of information law, ethics, financial oversight and accountability, audits, and fiduciary responsibilities of a community college trustee). Provides that the community college district shall maintain on its Internet website, if any, the names of all elected or appointed voting trustees of the board who have not successfully completed the training. Requires a board member to certify completion of the training to the secretary of the board. Provides that if a board member does not satisfy all of the requirements or the certification indicates that a board member has not completed the training, the secretary shall send a notice to all elected or appointed members serving on the board and the president or acting chief executive officer of the community college of that fact. Removes the effective date provision.
