required to pay those benefits directly or to reimburse the school
corporation for the cost of the benefits.

SECTION 2. IC 20-6.1-4-15 IS AMENDED TO READ AS
FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2003]: Sec. 15. (a) Void
Contract.When Two Contracts Are Signed. A contract entered into
after August 15 between a school corporation and a teacher is void if
the teacher, at the time of signing the contract, is bound by a previous
contract to teach in a public school. However, another contract may be
signed by the teacher which will be effective if the teacher:
(1) he furnishes the governing body a release by the employers
under the previous contract; or
(2) he shows proof that twenty-one (21) days written notice was
delivered by the teacher to the first employer.
Each governing body may request from the teacher at the time of
contracting a written statement as to whether the teacher has signed
another teaching contract. However, the teacher's failure to provide the
statement is not a cause for subsequently voiding the contract.
(b) This section does not apply to an individual who works at a
conversion charter school for purposes of the individual's
employment with the school corporation that sponsored the
conversion charter school.".
