CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 737 - This act modifies the appointment of teacher representatives to the State Board of Education by providing that, for the second and succeeding appointments, the teacher representative shall not be appointed from the same congressional district as the immediately preceding teacher representative, rather than requiring all appointments to be made in rotation from each congressional district. If a vacancy occurs during an unexpired term, the act repeals a requirement that the Governor appoint a replacement from the same congressional district as the teacher representative being replaced, as well as repealing a provision requiring the Governor to make a temporary appointment if the General Assembly is not in session. Finally, the act changes the expiration date of these provisions from August 28, 2025 to August 28, 2031.
This act is similar to provisions in CCS/HCS/SS/SCS/SB 68 (2025) and HCS/HB 1413 (2025).
