An Act relating to the terms of office of municipal school board members; and providing for an effective date.

HB 160 allows Alaska's local municipalities to set their own election terms for municipal school board members through local ordinances. Currently, school board members serve three-year terms by default (per AS 29.20.300(a)), but this bill gives municipalities the authority to change that term length if they choose. The key provision amends Alaska Statutes to explicitly permit municipal governing bodies to alter school board terms via ordinance, without requiring state-level approval. This directly affects all municipal school districts across Alaska, giving local communities more flexibility in how they structure school board elections.
