Authorizing a school board member to refuse his or her salary. (FE)

What it does

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill authorizes a school board member or school board member-elect to refuse the salary that he or she is entitled to receive for his or her service as a school board member. Under the bill, to refuse his or her salary, the school board member or member-elect must send written notification to the school district clerk and treasurer. To be valid, the school board member or member-elect must send the notification within 30 days after the certification of the individual's election or at least 30 days before the start of the individual's next taxable year. In general, a notification applies only to the taxable year in which the individual's election is certified or to the taxable year to which the notification relates. A school board member or member-elect may not rescind a notification to refuse his or her salary.
