Montana SB210 would remove the statutory requirement for a student regent on the board of regents.

Montana SB210 revises the laws governing the board of regents by eliminating the statutory requirement for a student regent. The bill removes the provision that mandates a student member on the board and outlines a transition plan. The governor will appoint a member to fill the vacant student regent position until January 31, 2030, after which a new member will be appointed for a full 7-year term. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
