§ 101421 School Building Finance Committee

This law keeps a special group of state leaders in place to help decide how to get money for school buildings, and says who does what in that group.

Key Takeaways

  • •The committee stays in place and works like the bond committee in the state law.
  • •Members do not get paid for serving on the committee.
  • •A majority of the members must be present for the committee to act (that’s a quorum).
  • •The Treasurer is the chairperson (the leader) of the committee.
  • •Two Senate members and two Assembly members can give advice, as long as it doesn’t clash with their jobs.
  • •The Director of Finance helps the committee when needed.
  • •The Attorney General gives legal advice to the committee.

Example

The state wants to issue bonds to fix old school roofs. The finance committee meets, the Treasurer leads the meeting, and the two legislators give advice while the Attorney General checks the legal side.

The committee, made up of the Governor, Controller, Treasurer, Director of Finance, and Superintendent, talks about the bond plan. The Treasurer runs the meeting, the legislators listen and advise, and the Attorney General makes sure everything follows the law.

The Treasurer shall serve as chairperson of the committee.
