TALLAHASSEE – A Senate Republican has filed a measure that would modify a residency requirement for college-board candidates.
Beneath recent regulation, candidates have to reside in the districts they are in search of to signify at the time they qualify to run.
On Monday, Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, submitted a bill that would revise the need so they would have to stay in the districts at the time they presume business office. The proposal is submitted for the legislative session that will commence in March.
The bill is one of multiple proposals that Republican lawmakers are looking at to modify rules about faculty boards. Rep. Spencer Roach, R-North Fort Myers, and Sen. Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota, have filed similar proposals that look for to change school-board elections into partisan races. If authorized by the Legislature, the proposed modify would go just before voters in 2024 simply because it would demand a constitutional modification.
Meanwhile, Rep. Alex Rizo, R-Hialeah, has submitted a proposal that would generate 8-12 months term limitations for school board users. That would be a reduction from the 12-yr time period restrictions authorised by lawmakers past yr.
