HB 687 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in school directors, providing for ineligibility for office of school director for delinquent tax obligations.

HB 687 amends Pennsylvania's Public School Code to disqualify individuals with delinquent school property taxes from serving as school directors. It prohibits anyone who has failed to pay school taxes on their primary residence or business in their school district for two or more years (without pending legal challenges) from holding this office. The bill applies to both candidates and those elected after its effective date, requiring objections to be filed under existing election law. This change directly affects school board members and candidates in Pennsylvania school districts.
