Effective July 1, 2017, makes conforming change to GS 116-6.1 to reflect the reduction of the Board of Governors from 32 to 28 elected members, as well as makes the language in that statute gender neutral. Effective July 1, 2019, makes conforming change to GS 116-6.1 to reflect the further reduction of the Board of Governors to 24 elected members.
