An Act providing for pre-service training for members of local boards and commissions
This bill requires state departments to create and fund free training programs for new members of local health, conservation, planning, and zoning boards. The state would offer these courses in-person and online, consulting with local government associations to design the curriculum. Additionally, the law mandates that individuals must finish this training before they can officially serve on these local boards.
