Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law provides that a person may sell or promote the sale of goods and services on school district property unless the school board adopts written resolutions that prohibit, restrict or otherwise regulate the sale or promotion of goods and services.

This bill prohibits a school board from selling advertising space on any school radio or television broadcast or in any school facility, school bus, school electronic mail system or school publication, except for newspapers, yearbooks or programs for school athletic events.

For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
