| IN RE: | HB945 by Herrero (Relating to the dates on which certain independent school districts may hold an election of trustees.), Conference Committee Report |
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
Certain school districts would be allowed to change the date of the general election of trustees to provide for a joint election with a municipality that is allowed to hold a general election for offices on a Saturday in April of odd-numbered years under Section 41.0051, Election Code. These districts would also be authorized to adjust the terms of office of trustees to conform to a change in election date.
Certain school districts that held elections for school district trustees jointly with the election for members of the governing body of a hospital district prior to May 2007 would be authorized to continue to hold such elections.
