The bill, H.B. No. 364, proposes amendments to the Education Code regarding the compensation of school district trustees. It stipulates that trustees typically serve without compensation, but allows for compensation to be approved by the district, provided it is not funded by state or federal sources. Additionally, the bill specifies that individuals cannot receive compensation for serving as trustees if they hold another civil office of emolument or receive compensation from the state for other services.

The changes to the law include the insertion of provisions that clarify the conditions under which trustees may receive compensation, emphasizing the prohibition against using state or federal funds for such payments. The bill aims to ensure that the compensation structure for trustees is clear and compliant with existing constitutional provisions. If passed, the bill would take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote in both houses, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not achieve that majority.
