EXPLANATION The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
______________________________ ______________________________ CHARLES SCHNEIDER LINDA UPMEYER President of the Senate Speaker of the House I hereby certify that this bill originated in the Senate and is known as Senate File 283, Eighty-eighth General Assembly.
Current Code provisions generally restrict school board members and city and county officers and employees from entering into contracts with the applicable governmental entity or having an interest, direct or indirect, in a contract with the entity.
______________________________ W.
The prohibition does not, however, apply to contracts if purchases benefiting the individual do not exceed specified value thresholds in a fiscal year.
CHARLES SMITHSON Secretary of the Senate Approved _______________, 2019 ______________________________ KIM REYNOLDS Governor
The current thresholds are $2,500 for school board members, $1,500 for county officers or employees, $1,500 for officers or employees of a city with a population of more than 2,500, and $2,500 for officers or employees of a city with a population of 2,500 or less.
This bill increases all such contract threshold amounts to $6,000.
By operation of law, the threshold amount changes in the bill also apply to other provisions governing school board members and provisions governing certain school organizations and clubs under Code section 298A.15, port authorities under Code chapter 28J, regional transit districts under Code chapter 28M, and LSB 1729SV (2) 88 -2- ec/rn 2/3 S.F.
