What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits a school board from requiring its teachers to perform any

services outside of regular classroom instruction unless the school board

compensates the teacher for his or her time. Under current law, a school must

provide each teacher a daily duty-free 30-minute lunch period, or the school board

may enter into a contract with a teacher for services during the teacher's lunch

period.
