- Directs the Advisory Board to publish an annual report on the MSBA's activities and performance
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would impact the MSBA, the Advisory Board, and local school districts that receive MSBA funding. It aims to provide greater oversight and transparency over the MSBA's decision-making processes.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill is currently in the proposed stage and has been introduced in the state legislature. If passed, the changes to the Advisory Board would take effect starting in the next fiscal year.
