Bill > SF3626

This bill establishes an Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact, creating a framework for member states to streamline the process for teachers to obtain licensure in new states, aiming to support teacher mobility and address shortages. The compact defines key terms like "active military member," "adverse action" (disciplinary measures against a teacher's license), "eligible license" (a teaching license requiring at least a bachelor's degree and completion of an approved program), and "eligible military spouse." It outlines a process for teachers holding an "unencumbered license" (a current, valid, and unrestricted teaching credential) in one member state to be granted an equivalent license in another member state, with specific provisions for active military members and their spouses. The bill also establishes an Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact Commission to oversee the compact, manage information exchange between states regarding teacher licensure and disciplinary actions, and resolve disputes, while preserving each state's sovereignty in regulating the teaching profession.
