SS/SCS/HCS#2/HB 63 - This act prohibits any person from being a candidate for school board member in any district if the person was previously employed by the district as the superintendent. Currently, the Springfield School District is an urban school district that was previously exempted from school board member terms of six years in length. This act updates the description of the city of Springfield and provides that the exemption from the six-year school board member term only applies to an urban school district the majority of which is located in the City of Springfield. The act repeals obsolete language relating to the election of school board members in the Springfield School District from the 1960 decennial census. Currently, the St. Joseph School District school board members serve a term of six years. This act establishes that, upon expiration of any term after August 28, 2015, the term of office will be for three years. This act provides that a candidate for school board in the St. Joseph School District file a declaration of candidacy with the board secretary and shall not be required to submit a petition. The act further exempts candidates for special district offices, township offices in township organization counties, or city, town, or village offices from certain statutory requirements pertaining to political parties and the nomination of candidates. This act contains an emergency clause. SCOTT SVAGERA
