Local School Board Election Amendments

HB 602 moves local school board elections to odd-numbered years to align with municipal election dates, affecting school board members and voters in Utah districts. The bill modifies election schedules (including primaries and general elections), adjusts candidacy periods, and extends current members' terms to transition smoothly from the previous even-year schedule. It makes no changes to school funding, curriculum, or policy content. The bill is procedural, affecting only election timing and administrative processes.
