AN ACT

To repeal section 161.022, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to term limits for state board of education members.

---

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:

            Section A. Section 161.022, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 161.022, to read as follows:

            161.022. 1. The state board of education consists of eight lay members appointed by the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, after an open committee hearing. The term of office of each member is eight years. At the expiration of the term of each member, the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, shall appoint a successor. If the general assembly is not in session at the time for making an appointment, the governor shall make a temporary appointment as in the case of a vacancy.

            2. After August 28, 2014, no member shall serve more than two terms on the state board of education and any member who has already served two or more terms on the board shall be ineligible to serve an additional term. In applying this subsection, serving a term for less than four years shall not be counted.

            3. No member may be removed by the governor except after written notice and hearing on charges of malfeasance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance in office.

            [3.] 4. Each member of the board shall receive as compensation for his services twenty-five dollars for each day actually spent in attendance at board meetings, and in addition shall be reimbursed for all necessary expenses incurred in the performance of his duties as a member of the board.
