Relating to renewal requirements associated with licenses issued by the board of educational examiners to practitioners who have been employed as practitioners for at least thirty years

This bill relates to renewal requirements associated with licenses issued by the board of educational examiners (BOEE) to practitioners who have been employed as practitioners for at least years. Current law authorizes the BOEE to establish renewal requirements for licensed practitioners. Current law provides that there shall be no renewal requirement for a practitioner who has been employed as a practitioner for at least years and who possesses a master’s or doctoral degree, unless the practitioner holds an evaluator approval endorsement, which must be renewed at least once every years. The bill provides that there shall also be no renewal requirement for a practitioner who has been employed as a practitioner for at least years and who possesses a baccalaureate degree. The BOEE is required to conduct certain criminal history registry checks related to such practitioners every five years, and the BOEE is authorized to charge the practitioner a reasonable fee for the review of the criminal history registry checks.146(13).
