    Sec. 2-1. There is created the Illinois Community College 
Board
hereinafter referred to as the "State Board".  The State 
Board shall
consist of 12 members as follows: a nonvoting 
student member selected by
the recognized advisory committee of 
students of the Illinois Community
College Board, this student 
to serve for a term of one year beginning on
July 1 of each 
year, except that the student member initially selected
shall 
serve a term beginning on the date of such selection and 
expiring on
the next succeeding June 30, and except that any 
student member or former
student member may be selected by the 
recognized advisory committee of
students of the State Board to 
serve a second term as the nonvoting student
member of the 
State Board; and 11 members, one of whom shall be a senior

citizen age 60 or over,  to be appointed by the Governor by and 
with the
advice and consent of the Senate. Beginning on July 1, 
2005, one of the 11 members appointed by the Governor, by and 
with the advice and consent of the Senate, must be a faculty 
member at an Illinois public community college.  Also beginning 
on July 1, 2005, one of the 11 members appointed by the 
Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, 
must be a member of the board of trustees of a public community 
college district.   The membership requirements set forth in this 
Section apply only to the State Board and shall have no effect 
on the membership of the board of trustees of a community 
college district.  The members first appointed under this

amendatory Act of 1984 shall serve for a term of 6 years. After 
the
expiration of the terms of the office of the members first 
appointed to the
State Board, their respective successors shall 
hold office for a term of 6
years and until their successors 
are qualified and seated.  In the event of
vacancies on the 
State Board in offices appointed by the Governor occurring

during a recess of the  Senate, the Governor shall have the 
power to make
temporary appointments until the next meeting of 
the Senate, when the
vacancy shall be filled by nomination to 
be confirmed by the Senate.
