Bill > HB5037

This bill provides financial appropriations and spending authority for the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) for the 2025-2027 biennium. Specifically, the bill appropriates $769,493 from the General Fund to the TSPC and establishes a maximum expenditure limit of $18,046,699 from fees, miscellaneous receipts, and other non-lottery and non-federal revenues for the commission's general operations. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it is considered immediately necessary for public peace, health, and safety, and will take effect on July 1, 2025. The emergency provision allows the legislation to be implemented quickly, ensuring the TSPC has the necessary funding to continue its work of overseeing teacher certification, professional standards, and educational practices in Oregon without interruption.
