This bill died with 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

Vetoed by Governor Katie Hobbs (Democratic) on June 19, 2026.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

In plain language

This bill addresses school district board meeting expenditures.

The bill sets guidelines for how school districts handle expenditures related to board meetings. It aims to ensure transparency and proper use of funds in the context of school board operations.

Plain-language change summary

The bill has been amended to require that school districts with more than 5,000 students provide a live video feed and online access to recordings of their governing board meetings for at least five years. Previously, this requirement applied to districts with over 250 students or those that had offered live feeds before, which means larger districts will now have greater accountability and transparency. This change is important because it enhances public access to governance in larger school districts, allowing for better oversight and community engagement.
