A bill that would impose term limits on local school board members stalled in a Senate panel on Wednesday. Sen. Dennis Baxley’s bill (SJR 274) proposes a constitutional amendment on the question, requiring a statewide approval of 60% to be added to the state’s governing document. But the need for a statewide vote on a matter affecting county elected officials continues to complicate discourse. The bill was temporarily postponed in the Rules Committee, a procedural move that often suggests a measure does not have the needed votes.
