School district voters can now force a public vote on certain school board resolutions by filing a petition signed by five percent of voters who participated in the last general election, as long as the resolution involves health or safety requirements or limitations for students or employees. The petition must be filed within 60 days of the board's adoption of the resolution and include the full text and dates, and if valid, the school district must hold a referral vote at the next regular school election with advance notice published in the local newspaper.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
