15 SECTION 2. This act shall be in full force and effect on and after July

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 09701
The purpose of this legislation is to extend the time period requirement for school district
trustee election write-in candidate filing from 5 to 14 days.
This would allow school district staff a more realistic time frame to prepare for the
election.
FISCAL NOTE
This proposal would not effect the state's general fund. It is projected that savings in staff costs
and overtime, printing and advertising costs would result for the school district budget.
