Allow school board members to run for the state legislature

HB 4788 allows current West Virginia county school board members to run for state legislative seats while retaining their school board position during the campaign. It amends eligibility rules to explicitly permit school board members to seek other public office (including the state legislature) without resigning from the school board, as long as they do not receive compensation for other boards related to public schools. The bill also provides legal protections, requiring county boards to reimburse members for legal costs if they rely on an Ethics Commission advisory opinion confirming eligibility. This directly affects school board members who wish to pursue state legislative office without leaving their current role. The change removes a previous restriction that barred school board members from holding other public office during campaigns.
