This bill mandates that each school district's board of education allocate membership association dues equally among its members, using public funds. If a board member chooses not to join a membership association, they will not receive any allocated funds for that purpose. Conversely, if a board member opts to join, the allocated funds may be used to pay their dues to the association. The bill defines "membership association" as a not-for-profit corporation primarily composed of elected board members from school districts.

Additionally, the bill amends K.S.A. 72-1145 by removing the term "money" and replacing it with "moneys," while also repealing the existing section. This change clarifies the authorization for school boards and community college boards to use their general funds for annual dues to the Kansas association of school boards, except as specified in the new provisions. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
