An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in duties and powers of boards of school directors, repealing provisions relating to third-party services; and, in terms and courses of study, further providing for pandemic of 2020.

House Bill 1392 amends Pennsylvania's Public School Code of 1949. The bill primarily repeals Section 528, which previously set specific requirements for school boards when contracting with third-party companies for non-instructional services. This repeal removes mandates for school employers to solicit applications, obtain detailed cost projections and compliance information from third parties, and conduct public hearings before finalizing such contracts. It also eliminates the requirement for third parties to consider former school employees for related positions. Additionally, the bill makes a technical amendment to a section regarding pandemic-related waivers, removing the repealed Section 528 from a list of non-waivable provisions.
