If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding the purchasing authority of school district governing boards. Specifically, it would limit the ability of governing boards to make purchases from their own members to those districts that are not located in counties with a population of at least 750,000. This change narrows the scope of existing law, which currently allows such purchases under certain conditions, regardless of the county's population.

Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes to the language of the statute, including clarifying voting eligibility for governing board members and specifying the conditions under which purchases can be made. It retains the existing monetary limits on transactions but emphasizes that the governing board must adopt a policy authorizing such purchases within the preceding twelve months. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in school district procurement practices.
