Bill > HB2407

This bill modifies Arizona law regarding school district governing board members' voting and purchasing rights. The bill clarifies that board members can vote on most issues, with specific restrictions: a member cannot vote on matters directly involving their own appointment, employment, or compensation, or on the employment of their spouse if such employment would violate existing board membership rules. The bill updates language around financial transactions, allowing governing boards to make purchases from board members under certain conditions: transactions must not exceed $300 individually, total purchases from a single board member cannot exceed $1,000 in a twelve-month period, and the board must have previously adopted a policy authorizing such purchases by majority vote. Additionally, for smaller school districts (with less than 3,000 students and not located in larger counties), the board has more flexibility to approve purchases from board members, provided each purchase is individually approved and recorded in meeting minutes. The changes are mostly technical, modernizing language and clarifying existing provisions about board member conduct and financial interactions.
