Read the official explanation
This bill relates to licenses issued by the board of educational examiners (BOEE) to applicants from other states or countries. Current law authorizes the BOEE to issue a license to an applicant from another state or country if the applicant files evidence of the possession of the required or equivalent requirements with the BOEE. The bill provides that such required or equivalent requirements shall include a full license from another state or country, verification from an institution located in another state that the applicant has completed all program and licensure requirements except for state-required assessments, and transcripts indicating the applicant completed an educator preparation program located in another country.
