Introduced
by
To revise the procedures for the election of Intermediate School District boards. Most ISD boards are selected by the boards of the constituent school districts. The bill revises the timing of those votes, the procedures for contested and non-contested votes, and for when more than three members of a particular school board are selected (not more than three can serve prohibited). The bill also adds additional conflict of interest provisions for ISD administrators, and specified that required ISD financial disclosure reports must break out individual expenditures for public relations, polling and lobbying, rather than aggregating these in lump sums.

Referred to the Committee on Education
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (S-2) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that revises proposed ISD board election procedures, allows aggregate reporting of legal expenses (rather than by item), eases restrictions on lobbyists and others buying meals for ISD board members, and more. It also would require a school selling a vocational education facility that was mostly paid for by an ISD to get the ISD's permission to sell the facility.
The substitute passed by voice vote
