Bill > SB166

This bill expands the list of convictions that disqualify individuals from serving on a school board, commonly known as a school board member. Currently, a conviction for a sexual offense against a child prevents someone from holding this position. The bill adds convictions for crimes of violence and felony drug offenses involving the distribution, manufacturing, dispensing, or sale of controlled substances to this disqualifying list. Importantly, these new disqualifications only apply if the person was an adult (18 years or older) at the time of the offense. The bill also clarifies the definitions of "crime of violence" and "felony drug offense involving distribution, manufacturing, dispensing, or sale," including attempts, solicitations, and conspiracies to commit such crimes, and specifies that these offenses are considered disqualifying if they occurred under state, federal, or territorial law.
