AI Summary
This bill directs the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) to create two new types of substitute teaching licenses: a standard substitute teaching license and a restricted substitute teaching license. The bill requires the TSPC to establish clear rules for obtaining these licenses, including specific eligibility criteria, application procedures, and an expedited process for individuals with a restricted license to upgrade to a full substitute teaching license. The upgrade path may be based on factors such as training, mentorship, classroom experience, or other relevant work experience. Additionally, the bill mandates that the TSPC, in collaboration with the Oregon Substitute Teachers Association, submit a report to legislative education committees by December 15, 2025, detailing the implementation of these new licensing provisions. The bill is classified as an emergency measure and is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with the reporting requirement section to be repealed on January 2, 2026. This legislation aims to streamline and improve the process for becoming a substitute teacher in Oregon by creating a more structured and flexible licensing system.
