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, or budget committee member-at-large. Additionally, it restricts individuals employed in salaried positions by a school administrative unit from serving as school board members or budget committee members for any district within that unit. The bill also clarifies that candidates cannot file for more than one incompatible elected office at the same time, nor can they run for an office that conflicts with one they currently hold if their term extends beyond the upcoming election.

The bill repeals and reenacts RSA 671:18, which outlines these qualifications and restrictions. The new language emphasizes the incompatibility of certain offices and the prohibition against filing for multiple positions simultaneously. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage.
