Senate bill a big boon for incumbents

SB71's effects on the June 24 special election for the new east- and west Jordan District school boards:

• No one can run against anyone already on the Jordan Board of Education. They've been grandfathered in.

• Anyone who filed to challenge an incumbent will receive a $25 filing fee refund.

• Some incumbents will have their four-year terms extended by two years, and one incumbent, by four years.

• Incumbents not wanting a seat on the new boards must resign and be replaced by appointment, as determined by fellow board members.
