The bill clarifies current law related to severance payments to
superintendents and the recovery of amounts of funds from school
districts that make severance payments to former superintendents.
  
Local Government Impact
  
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.

Districts could choose not to make severance payments that would trigger
payments to the state.
