1. The governing body of any district organized or reorganized under and operating as provided in any chapter in title 25 of NRS, excluding chapters 315, 318 and 318A of NRS, must be designated a board of trustees and shall reorganize as provided in this section so that after the transitional period the board consists of five qualified electors from time to time chosen as provided in NRS 318.095 and other provisions of this chapter supplemental thereto.

If a regular term of office of any member of any such governing body would terminate on other than the first Monday of January next following a biennial election in the absence of the adoption of this law, the term must be extended to and terminate on the first Monday in January next following a biennial election and following the date on which the term would have ended.
