This bill establishes regulations regarding the eligibility and qualifications for candidates running for school district offices. It specifically prohibits individuals from simultaneously holding multiple offices within the school district, including positions such as school board member, school district moderator, treasurer, auditor, clerk, and budget committee member-at-large. Additionally, it restricts individuals employed in salaried positions by a school administrative unit or school district from serving as school board members or budget committee members-at-large. The bill also clarifies that no person may file a declaration of candidacy for more than one incompatible elected office at the same time.

The bill repeals and reenacts RSA 671:18, which outlines these qualifications and restrictions. The new legal language emphasizes the incompatibility of certain offices and the prohibition against dual candidacies for these positions. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
