SB 1397: Teacher credentialing: emergency teaching permits.

Existing law requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to establish standards for the issuance and renewal of credentials, certificates, and permits. Existing law authorizes the commission to issue or renew emergency teaching and specialist permits if certain conditions are met, including that the applicant passes the state basic skills proficiency test.

This bill would require the commission to waive the basic skills proficiency requirement for the issuance of an emergency 30-day substitute permit until July 1, 2024. The bill would also delete obsolete references and update cross-references.
