Bill > SF0072

This bill establishes the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact, allowing teachers licensed in one participating state to teach in other member states, aiming to streamline the licensure process and support teacher mobility. The compact creates a framework for expediting and enhancing the ability of teachers to move across state lines, supports military spouses relocating due to service, and facilitates the exchange of licensure and disciplinary information between states. It also seeks to remove employment barriers for out-of-state teachers and support teacher retention by easing relicensure processes, while importantly maintaining each state's authority to regulate the teaching profession. The bill also makes conforming amendments to existing Wyoming statutes to integrate the compact's provisions, including requirements for background checks and the administration of teacher licensure under the compact, and sets an effective date of July 1, 2026.
