H.B. No. 2371 amends Section 11.063 of the Education Code regarding the eligibility of trustees of independent school districts for employment within those districts. The bill stipulates that a trustee may not accept employment with the school district until one year after their term on the board ends. However, it introduces a new provision that exempts trustees from this restriction if they are part of a school district entitled to an allotment under Section 48.101(b).

The bill aims to clarify the employment eligibility of school district trustees while providing an exception for certain districts, thereby allowing trustees in those districts to seek employment immediately after their term ends. The act will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote in both houses; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
