Bill > HB110

This bill establishes the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact, a multi-state agreement designed to facilitate teacher licensure across state lines. The compact creates a streamlined pathway for teachers to transfer their professional licenses between participating states, with a particular focus on supporting military spouses and removing barriers to teacher mobility. Key provisions include establishing an Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact Commission to administer the agreement, defining processes for license recognition, and creating a framework for information sharing between states. Teachers with an unencumbered (unrestricted) license from one member state can more easily obtain a license in another member state, subject to the receiving state's discretion. The compact maintains state sovereignty by allowing individual states to retain control over their specific licensing requirements while creating a more flexible system for teacher licensure. The compact will become effective once ten states have enacted it, and it includes detailed provisions for governance, rulemaking, dispute resolution, and potential withdrawal of member states. The New Mexico secretary of public education or their designee will serve as the state's commissioner for this interstate compact.
