Bill > HB1557

This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require school directors to abstain from voting on collective bargaining agreements under specific circumstances, even if other laws might permit them to vote. Specifically, a school director must recuse themselves if a close family member, such as a spouse, child, sibling, or parent, is subject to the agreement, or if someone who shares the same address as the director for tax purposes is also subject to the agreement. This provision aims to prevent potential conflicts of interest when school directors are making decisions about contracts that could directly or indirectly benefit their household members.
