The bill amends the Revised School Code of Michigan, specifically section 1361, to clarify the procedures for school district elections regarding the issuance of bonds. It stipulates that these elections must be conducted in accordance with the act and the Michigan election law, and explicitly states that members of the school board are prohibited from serving on a board of election inspectors. Additionally, the bill mandates that the ballot question must be presented in a specific format, detailing the legal name of the school district, the amount to be borrowed, and the purpose of the bond issuance.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a provision that prohibits school districts from using funds received under the state school aid act of 1979 for any election-related costs. Instead, all expenses associated with these elections must be covered through private donations. This change aims to ensure that public funds are not utilized for election costs, thereby promoting financial accountability within school districts.
