Bill > SB00594

This bill modifies existing state law regarding educator licensing fees by eliminating application review fees and capping the maximum license issuance fee at $100, which is intended to make becoming a licensed teacher more financially accessible. Specifically, the bill amends subsection (l) of section 10-145b of the general statutes to remove any fees previously charged by the State Board of Education for reviewing educator certificate license applications and limits the total cost of issuing an educator license to no more than $100. The primary goal of this legislative change is to reduce financial barriers in teacher recruitment, making it less expensive for individuals to obtain the necessary credentials to become licensed educators in the state.
