VALIDATING SCHOOL BOARD CONTRACTS
                   Act of Feb. 20, 1929, P.L. 3, No. 1                Cl. 24
                                  AN ACT

     To validate and confirm certain contracts heretofore entered
        into by boards of school directors, where there is no
        evidence of fraud or conspiracy, and to ratify, confirm, and
        validate, payments on such contracts by the school district.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That whenever any board of
     school directors shall have heretofore contracted for labor,
     materials, and supplies, for the school district, the purchase
     of which by contract are authorized under the provisions of the
     school laws of the Commonwealth, and such board of school
     directors has actually received such labor, materials, and
     supplies, and the same are being used by the school district--if
     the said contract does not evidence any fraud or conspiracy to
     violate the provisions of the school laws of the Commonwealth,
     and the school district has not suffered any pecuniary loss as
     the result of such contract, then such contract shall be valid
     and binding on the school district and payment for such labor,
     materials, and supplies, by the school district is hereby
     ratified, confirmed, and validated, notwithstanding the fact
     that the affirmative votes of the majority of the board of
     school directors were not recorded in the minutes showing how
     each member voted, as required by law. No board of school
     directors, or any members thereof, shall be subject to surcharge
     for payments made by any board of school directors on any such
     contract.
