Provides for the election of eight Regents of the University of the State of New York
This bill is a concurrent resolution (not a new law) to fill specific vacancies on the University of the State of New York Board of Regents. It names eight individuals to serve specific terms: re-electing five current Regents (including two for At Large seats) and appointing three new Regents for Judicial Districts 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, and At Large seats. The resolution follows New York Education Law procedures to address expiring terms and vacancies, with appointments effective April 1, 2025. It directly affects the Regents board composition but does not change election rules or create new policies.
