The bill amends the Revised School Code of 1976, 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 Michigan election law, and explicitly states that members of the school board are prohibited from serving on a board of election inspectors. The language of the ballot question is also standardized, requiring it to include specific details about the school district and the amount of money to be borrowed.

Additionally, the bill establishes that school districts cannot use funds from the state school aid act of 1979 for election-related costs, which must instead be covered by private donations. However, it allows for the use of state school aid funds for administrative costs associated with conducting a general November election. This amendment aims to ensure transparency and proper funding practices for school district elections.
