School boards; authorize to vote on providing members and their dependents with health insurance paid for by local funds.

SB 2071 allows Mississippi school boards to vote on providing health insurance for their members and eligible dependents, using only local funds (not state funds). This directly affects all school board members across the state, giving them the authority to approve this benefit through a local funding decision. The bill amends existing law to explicitly permit this use of local school district funds for board member health coverage, with no requirement for state funding or additional state oversight. It does not create new mandates or change existing insurance rules for school employees.
