  1  1    Section 1.  Section 279.7A, Code 2003, is amended to read
  1  2 as follows:
  1  3    279.7A  INTEREST IN PUBLIC CONTRACTS PROHIBITED ==
  1  4 EXCEPTIONS.
  1  5    1.  A member of the board of directors of a school

  1 11 not apply to contracts for the purchase of goods or services
  1 12 which benefit a director, or to compensation for part=time or
  1 13 temporary employment which benefits a director, if the benefit
  1 14 to the director does not exceed two thousand five hundred
  1 15 dollars in a fiscal year, and contracts made by a school
  1 16 board, upon competitive bid in writing, publicly invited and
  1 17 opened.
  1 18    2.  Notwithstanding subsection 1, a member of the board of
  1 19 directors of a school corporation may receive compensation for
  1 20 part=time or temporary employment as a substitute teacher or a
  1 21 school bus driver if the compensation does not exceed six
  1 22 thousand five hundred dollars in a fiscal year.
  1 23                           EXPLANATION
  1 24    This bill increases the current Code limitation on annual
  1 25 compensation to a school board member from $2,500 to $6,500
  1 26 for services to the member's school corporation if the school
  1 27 board member is employed on a part=time or temporary basis as
  1 28 a substitute teacher or a school bus driver.
