Places restrictions on unsolicited school budget communications sent by a board of education to school district residents 90 days prior to annual school election.
This bill restricts how school boards can communicate budget information to residents before annual school elections. It requires that any unsolicited budget communication sent within 90 days of the election must: (1) go to all registered voters, (2) include only basic figures like total budget amount and tax levy (not detailed spending), (3) be limited to one page if printed, and (4) exclude board member names or photos. The bill directly affects school boards (who send communications) and residents (who receive them). It aims to standardize and limit the information provided during election periods, preventing lengthy or personalized budget materials.
