This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to establish ineligibility for individuals with delinquent tax obligations to hold the office of school director in Pennsylvania. Specifically, it introduces a new section, Section 323.1, which states that any individual who is delinquent in their tax obligations is not eligible for this office. The bill outlines the process for objections to a candidate's eligibility, allowing such objections to be presented in court or tried through quo warranto proceedings.

Additionally, the bill defines "delinquent" as failing to satisfy a tax obligation for two years or more without any pending legal contest regarding the tax. It specifies that the term "tax obligation" refers to the requirement to pay school real property taxes assessed against an individual's primary residence or business within their school district. The provisions of this act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
