SB 306 -- SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS

SPONSOR:  Purgason (Dethrow)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Elementary and Secondary Education by a vote of 15 to 0.

Currently, no member of a governing body of a political
subdivision can sell more than $1,500 of services or property to
the political subdivision each year.  This bill raises the limit
to $5,000 for school board members.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2006, FY 2007, and
FY 2008.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that last year in SB 968, the limit
was raised in one section, but overlooked in this section.  The
bill will make the two sections consistent.

Testifying for the bill were Senator Purgason; Missouri School
Boards Association; and Missouri Council of School
Administrators.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
