Bill > AB829

This bill expands the authority of the state superintendent of public instruction, who is responsible for issuing teaching licenses, by allowing them to issue subpoenas. A subpoena is a legal order that compels someone to appear in court or to provide specific documents or items. This new power will enable the superintendent, or someone they designate, to gather evidence more effectively during investigations into potential license revocations. The bill specifically addresses situations where a teacher's license might be revoked due to incompetency (lack of skill or knowledge) or immoral conduct, providing a clearer process for the superintendent to obtain necessary information to make a determination.
