HOUSE BILL 645
RS31480 / H0645
This legislation provides the transaction of business can still occur when on or more vacancies exist on a board of trustees if a majority of remaining members of the board are present. It also clarifies that, if a special recall election is successful, a vacancy exists at the time the election is certified by the board of county commissions, and that the board of trustees does not have to declare the vacancy. Lastly, it clarifies that a trustee, subject to recall, is ineligible to vote on any actions that would alter the structures of the board or create new contractual or financial obligations for the school district between the period of the special recall election and when the board of county commissioners certified the election.
This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government, therefore there is no fiscal impact.
