1 AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 920
2 AMENDMENT NO. . Amend House Bill 920 by replacing
3 everything after the enacting clause with the following:
4 "Section 5. The Northeastern Illinois University Law is
5 amended by changing Section 25-15 as follows:
6 (110 ILCS 680/25-15)
7 Sec. 25-15. Membership; terms; vacancies. The Board
8 shall consist of 9 voting members who are residents of this
9 State and are appointed by the Governor, by and with the
10 advice and consent of the Senate, and one voting member who
11 is a student at Northeastern Illinois University. The
12 student member shall be elected by a campus-wide election of
13 all students of the University. The student member shall
14 serve a term of one year beginning on July 1 of each year,
15 except that the student member initially selected under this
16 amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly shall serve a
17 term beginning on the date of his or her selection and
18 expiring on the next succeeding June 30. A student member
19 may serve only for one term. To be eligible to remain as a
20 student member of the Board, the student member must be a
21 resident of this State, must have and maintain a grade point
22 average that is equivalent to at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale,

1 and must be a full time undergraduate student enrolled at all
2 times during his or her term of office except for that part
3 of the term which follows the completion of the last full
4 regular semester of an academic year and precedes the first
5 full regular semester of the succeeding academic year at the
6 university (sometimes commonly referred to as the summer
7 session or summer school). If a student member serving on
8 the Board fails to continue to meet or maintain the
9 residency, minimum grade point average, or enrollment
10 requirement established by this Section, his or her
11 membership on the Board shall be deemed to have terminated by
12 operation of law. If any member of the Board appointed by
13 the Governor fails to continue to meet or maintain the
14 residency requirement established by this Section, he or she
15 shall resign membership on the Board within 30 days
16 thereafter and, failing submission of this resignation, his
17 or her membership on the Board shall be deemed to have
18 terminated by operation of law. Of the members first
19 appointed by the Governor, 4 shall be appointed for terms to
20 expire on the third Monday in January, 1999 and until their
21 successors are appointed and qualified, and 3 shall be
22 appointed for terms to expire on the third Monday in January,
23 2001 and until their successors are appointed and qualified.
24 The 2 additional members appointed by the Governor, by and
25 with the advice and consent of the Senate, under this
26 amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, shall not be
27 from the same political party and shall be appointed for
28 terms to expire on the third Monday in January, 2003 and
29 until their successors are appointed and qualified. Any
30 vacancy in membership existing on January 1, 1999 shall be
31 filled by appointment by the Governor, with the advice and
32 consent of the Senate, for a term to expire on the third
33 Monday in January, 2003. If the Senate is not in session on
34 the effective date of this Article, or if a vacancy in an
-3- LRB093 05476 NHT 16450 a
1 appointive membership occurs at a time when the Senate is not
2 in session, the Governor shall make temporary appointments to
3 fill the vacancy. Members with these temporary appointments
4 shall be deemed qualified to serve upon appointment and shall
5 continue to serve until the next meeting of the Senate when
6 the Governor shall appoint persons to fill such memberships,
7 by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for the
8 remainder of their respective terms. No more than 5 of the
9 members appointed by the Governor shall be affiliated with
10 the same political party. Each member appointed by the
11 Governor must be a resident of this State. A failure to meet
12 or maintain this residency requirement constitutes a
13 resignation from and creates a vacancy in the Board. Upon
14 the expiration of the terms of members appointed by the
15 Governor for other than temporary appointments, their
16 respective successors shall be appointed, by and with the
17 advice and consent of the Senate, for terms of 6 years from
18 the third Monday in January of each odd-numbered year. Any
19 members appointed to the Board shall continue to serve in
20 such capacity until their successors are appointed and
21 qualified.
