Bill Summary
An Act relating to teachers; amending 70 O.S. 2021, Section 6-133, as amended by Section 1, Chapter 349, O.S.L. 2023 (70 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 6-133), which relates to a teacher certification pilot program; removing reference to pilot status of program; removing sunset date; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill makes permanent the "innovative pathways" program for teacher certification by removing references to it being a "pilot program" and eliminating a "sunset date," which is a date when a law or program would automatically expire. This means that the alternative routes to becoming a certified teacher, which are designed to be new and creative, will no longer be considered temporary or experimental and will continue indefinitely. The bill also specifies an effective date of July 1, 2026, and declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval to ensure the public peace, health, or safety.
