HB 1981 aims to regulate the use of public resources by public school officers and employees for political activities. The bill prohibits school district and open-enrollment charter school employees from using public resources to advocate for or against a candidate, measure, or political party in any communication. It also bars the use of public resources to transport employees or students to political rallies or polling places for advocacy purposes, although educational visits to polling places are permitted. Furthermore, it prohibits the use of images captured during polling place visits in political advertising or campaign communications. Violations of these provisions would be considered a Class A misdemeanor.
