Bill > HB286

This bill establishes a special legislative study committee to investigate the feasibility of reducing the number of school superintendents to one per county. The committee will consist of six members - three from the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker and three from the Senate appointed by the Senate President. Committee members will receive mileage reimbursement at the legislative rate when attending committee meetings. The committee's primary task is to examine whether having a single school superintendent per county is practical and to determine the potential office requirements for such a structure. The committee must elect a chairperson, hold its first meeting within 45 days of the bill's effective date, and requires four members to be present to conduct business. By November 1, 2025, the committee must submit a comprehensive report detailing its findings and any recommended legislation to key state leaders, including the Speaker of the House, Senate President, House and Senate Clerks, Governor, and state library. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the study committee to begin its work promptly.
