What’s in it

AI summary Experienced educators with a master's or doctoral degree can skip renewing their licenses if they have worked for at least 10 years. This rule also applies to anyone who has been working for at least 20 years, regardless of their degree. However, anyone with an evaluator approval endorsement must still renew that specific part of their license every 10 years.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to renewal requirements associated with licenses issued by the board of educational examiners (BOEE) to certain specified practitioners. Current law authorizes the BOEE to establish renewal requirements for licensed practitioners. Under current law, there is no renewal requirement for a practitioner who has been employed as a practitioner for at least 10 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 10 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 20 years, unless the practitioner holds an evaluator approval endorsement, which must be renewed at least once every 10 years. The BOEE is required to conduct certain criminal history registry checks related to such practitioners every five years.146(13).
