2017 House Bill 4614 / 2018 Public Act 202

Revise teacher certificate mandate

Introduced in the House

May 17, 2017

Introduced by Rep. Aaron Miller (R-59)

To repeal a law that limits renewing a lapsed "provisional" teacher certificate to a single two-year extension. In combination with current rules this would effectively eliminate the "provisional" certificate status, replacing it with "standard" certificates that if lapsed can be renewed for five year periods any number of times.

Referred to the Committee on Education Reform
