What A 1054 does, verified January 8, 2026

The proposed law aims to prevent conflicts of interest by prohibiting trustees and members of a board of education from having a family member who works for the same board of education or school district. This means that a trustee or member of the board cannot have a family member who is employed by the same board or school district. The law would apply to all members or trustees of a board of education who are elected or appointed after the law takes effect.
